> The allowed domain, using the full path.example.com format. Leave off the http:// and the trailing slash and do not include any paths. Can only contain lowercase alphanumeric characters, dashes and a colon (if using alternative ports).

I assume they can contain a full stop too, since the example has one... ;)

WTF is a "full stop"?

Ok, 'period' in US english.

The example being 'path.example.com'.

haha, good point.

Do we call that a period or a dot?

/me looks at the RFC

"Dot" is preferred.

When a user needs to type a domain name, the length of each label is
omitted and the labels are separated by dots (".")

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1034.txt

BTW: unless you use "localhost" at least one dot is required. So we might change the help text to indicate that.

Hmm ponder ponder. These are always tricky. How about:

"In addition to dots, can only contain lowercase alphanumeric characters, dashes and a colon (if using alternative ports)."

That's fine.
