Pre-Website Creation Domain Tasks

Tutorial

Before you get started you will need to know or create the following domains which are required to create a new website.

Web Server Domain: This domain was created when you created the web server. Web server domains have the following format.; <server_type><server_number>.<server_domain>; This will produce a server name that looks something like this.; it8.mtfs.us; This is an (i)nternet (t)est web server and the 8th web server to be created for my organization. My server domain is mtfs.us.
Server Specific Website Domain: This domain is used to set up a website and when needed use to access this website on this exact server. For production sites, this domain is redirected to the primary website domain most of the time.; Server specific website domains add one name before the web server domain. For the Mattifesto website, it would be something like this domain.; mattifesto.it8.mtfs.us; Once you have determined the domain you should create a DNS CNAME record pointing to the web server domain.; mattifesto.it8.mtfs.us --> it8.mtfs.us
