with InterNIC – the organization responsible for the master database of all domain names in the world.
Second, you need to provide InterNIC with the nameserver of your domain name, so that the IP address
for your domain name can be disseminated throughout the Internet allowing browsers to find your specific
site. This may seem more complicated than it actually is. Your Net-Box makes this entire process mostly
automatic and very quick. Just follow the steps in the following section to register your own domain name.
Registering Your Own Domain Name
While it is not necessary to assign a domain name to your Net-Box, doing so does have significant
advantages.
With a domain name you can:
- Host a Web site - your Net-Box will be accessible from the Internet via your domain name, and
your users can easily create and publish Web sites.
- Manage your Email - your Net -Box will be able to send and receive emails using addresses at
your own domain.
- Share Files - access your files from any Internet connected computer. You can also decide which
files you want to make public (viewable by anyone on the Internet), or you can restrict access to
only those people you give passwords to.
- Publish a photo album - your Net-Box includes software for easily creating photo albums that can
be viewed by anyone on the Internet, or you can restrict access to only those people you give
passwords to.
- Consolidate your address books - store all of your contacts in your Axentra Address Book and
access it from any Internet connected computer via LDAP from within most popular addressing
and email software. You no longer need to maintain separate address books on each of your
computers.
Registering a domain has typically been a time-consuming and costly undertaking. But thanks to a
partnership with TZO, each new Axentra Net-Box sold is entitled to a complimentary domain name
registration for a period of one year. Registering the domain is as easy as typing it in and answering a
few questions. Combined with your Net-Box's support for dynamic DNS, creating your own unique space
on the Internet has never been easier.
1. If you do not have a registered domain name
If you are accessing your Net-Box for the first time, you will see the Setup Wizard, as described
previously. One step of this wizard will allow you to configure your Server's domain name information.
You will be provided with three choices; to take advantage of your complimentary domain registration with
TZO, choose Option 1.
Alternately, if you have already completed the Setup Wizard, but did not register a domain with TZO, you
can go to the Domain Setup page in the Axentra Administration Center, where a button will appear. Click
that Domain Setup button to begin the process of domain registration.
In either case, a new browser window will open, and you will be presented with the Axentra™/TZO
domain registration wizard. The first step is to choose a domain name. You can choose any name in the
