How to set your domain adress
First of all, you should notice that if you open
the Pi3 windows from the taskbar, you will see that it tells you were your sever
is running. mine say http://localhost
because i am using my computer as the server when im online only. Now, since you
have a dedicated web server, you want to set the domain name. You should open
your C:\windows directory and find the file that is called hosts. This file will
have no association and have the windows icon. Right click on it and choose
open, and select wordpad. Before pressing ok, make sure the "always use
this program to open this file type" box IS NOT CHECKED! you do not want to
associate this file.
you should now enter the DNS Adress (like 12.30.211.209) for
your server, followed by a space, and then the domain name. It should be in the
form of either <yourdomain>.com .net .org whatever yours is or
www.<yourdomain>.com .org .net I'm not sure which way it
should be done, but i believe it is www for it. You do not need to specofy
http:// the server already knows this. For further help contact me...and if Im
completly wrong let me know.
