ubuntu-12.04

I recently set up a web server running tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 12.04. It is currently running on port 8080, however I just enabled SSL on port 8443. Here's my problem:

For port 8080, the website is resolved with DNS: (http://www.mywebpage.com:8080)

For port 8443, I can only access the website with the IP Address (http://0.0.0.0:8443). It will not work if I use the DNS name.

I ultimately want to disable port 80 and use port 8443 only. Does anyone know why I cannot resolve the website on port 8443 using DNS, and how I might fix it?

Thanks!
