Microsoft website domain server




















DNS dynamic update protocol is a service that lets anyone on the Internet gain access to resources on a local network when the IP address of that network is constantly changing. Choose a name that uniquely identifies your business server. For example, if your business name is Contoso Ltd, you might choose Contoso to uniquely identify your home or business server on the Internet. If the domain name is not available, try another variation of that name, or perhaps something completely different.

Letters English or your localized characters , numbers, or hyphens -. The name must begin and end with a letter or a number. The top-level domain extension is the right-most label in the domain name. For example, in www. The second-level domain name is the label next to the top-level domain name extension. The second-level domain name is often created based on the company name, products, or services. The second-level domain is sometimes referred to as the hostname, which has an IP address associated with it.

The domain name prefix identifies a subdomain. The subdomain name can be used to identify services, devices, or regions. For example, Contoso Pharmaceuticals wants to allow remote users to log on to Remote Web Access, but does not want the website to be available to the public, so they create a subdomain that allows only users with appropriate permissions to access the website.

Contoso Pharmaceuticals sets up remote. It is recommended that you use the default Remote as the prefix for your domain name. When you choose a domain name for your Internet website, you also need to specify the domain name extension that you want to use.

The extension is identified by the letters that follow the final period of any domain name. The formal term for the extension is the top-level domain or TLD. Generic domain extensions are three or more letters in length, and they are typically used by certain types of organizations.

These domain extensions are two letters in length. They are designed to be used by organizations in the country or region that is associated with that code. Some country-code top-level domains are restricted for use by citizens of that country or region.

Others are available for use by anyone. To view the complete list of top-level domains, see the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority website. When you run the Set Up Domain Name Wizard, the wizard looks at your system information to determine your country or region. The wizard then displays only those domain extensions that the participating providers in your area support. If the domain extension that you want does not appear in the list, you must choose a different domain extension to continue.

Select an extension from the list that the wizard returned. You may need to update or upgrade your domain name service if you purchased a domain name, but did not purchase a certificate. You must have a certificate for your domain name from your domain name service provider. Work with your domain name service provider to determine the type of certificate that you need. The certificate can be one of the inexpensive certificates that are offered.

However, you should review the documentation and features of higher level security certificates to determine if they better meet your business needs. If you want to create a backup copy of a certificate or use it on another server, you must export the certificate. For information about exporting certificates, see Export a Certificate.

If you choose this option, the server does not monitor or maintain your domain name, and it does not alert you if there is a configuration issue. You might also consider this option if any of the following is true:. You have an existing domain name from a domain name provider that is not currently a partner, and you do not want to transfer that domain name to a Windows Server Essentials supported domain name provider. The wizard does not list the domain name extension that you want to use, but the extension is available from a domain name provider that is not currently a partner.

If you choose to set up your domain name manually, work with your domain name service provider to create an A Record for your domain. Decide on a host name, such as remote. This is the domain name prefix. In your domain name service providers configuration dashboard usually on their webpage , create the A record for the host name that you decided on in Step 1.

If you do not have the option to obtain a static IP address from your ISP, you might also consider purchasing the Domain Name System DNS dynamic update protocol service from your domain name service provider or another service provider. Import a trusted certificate when the wizard prompts you. If you do not have a trusted certificate, you can obtain one from one of the supported domain name providers listed in the wizard or purchase one from the trusted provider of your choice.
