Yes, I'm sure. Turns out that ufw is just a simpler interface to
iptables, and ufw allows that:

sudo ufw allow <service name>


(that was from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW#Allow%20and%20Deny)

/etc/hosts.allow does allow to include either IPs, or domain names. But
if the IP can change, you can end up blocking the current ip and
allowing for a different one, so you have to do as you do. But once
you've solved it, it can be a feature in a GUI any day.
