.com, .org or .net top-level domain that hasn't been previously registered. If you type a domain that has
already been registered, you will be informed to try another one.
Once you have selected a domain name, you will be prompted for your email address and mailing
address. Three addresses are required in order to register your domain name: TZO's address will be
filled in as the Technical contact, and your own address will be used for the Administrative and Billing
contact addresses (though you can give separate addresses if you desire). This information will appear in
a publicly-viewable online database.
Once you have entered the required information, the free registration process will be complete! When
you close that browser window and return to your Server's configuration screen, your Net -Box will
configure itself with all the information it needs to serve your new domain, including dynamic DNS
settings if appropriate. Once it has done so, the domain name you chose will point to your Net -Box Server
within 30 minutes at most.
A reminder: if this is the first domain you've configured on your Net -Box, or if you change your Server's
primary domain, you will need to restart your Net-Box in order for the new settings to take effect. It is
recommended that you also restart your client computers.
2. If you already have a registered domain name
If you have already registered or own your own domain name (e.g.: example.com) with a registrar, such
as GoDaddy.com or MyDomain.com, your Net-Box allows you to host your web site (e.g.:
http://www.example.com) and your own email server (e.g.: username@example.com). This is easy if your
broadband connection has a Static IP (assigned by your ISP). However, if your broadband connection
has a Dynamic IP instead, then your IP address may change every time you connect. In such a case you
must sign up with a Dynamic DNS Service Provider, such as TZO.com, ZoneEdit.com or No-IP.com,
keeping your Net-Box accessible from the Internet , even when its IP changes. Choose Option 2 to
proceed if you use a previously registered domain and follow the on-screen instructions.
With your domain now set up, you can easily publish and host your own personal or small business Web
site, post your photo albums online and create personalized email addresses. The key to accessing all of
these features is the Axentra Application Center.
Editing Your Domain / Subdomains
Once you have at least one domain set up, and if your ISP or DNS service allows subdomains of a
domain to point to (resolve to) your Net -Box's IP address
(e.g.: mysubdomain.example.com), you can customize your subdomains, and what someone will see
when they browse to each one.
To edit your domain settings:
- Log in your Administration Center, as an administrator user.
- Choose the Internet / Domain Setup page on the left menu.
- Select your domain from the list and click the Edit button to access your HTTP forwarding
settings.
