### HTTPS websites
|
||||
|
||||
If you create an alias for a website that uses HTTPS, the alias must match the website's hostname.
|
||||
You may receive connection errors if the alias does not match the website's hostname exactly.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you want to create an alias to connect to https://www.hashicorp.com, you must name the alias `www.hashicorp.com`.

|

||||
|
||||
You can only create aliases in the `global` scope. However, you can associate aliases with targets or hosts from any scope. Support for additional resource types may be added in the future.

You can create aliases and associate them with targets using the following methods:
