When your new [[Blogs|Scoilnet Blog]] has been fully created, you will be given a link to view as well as to login to your Blog.
 
 
 
Your Blog's address will take the form of ''<nowiki>h</nowiki>ttp://school1.scoilnet.ie/blog''
 
 
 
You should replace '''school1''' with your own school's [[Online Name]].
 
 
 
== Select your main site ==
 
 
 
You have the option of selecting which site you wish users to see when they type your domain name (i.e. ''<nowiki>h</nowiki>ttp://school1.scoilnet.ie'') into their browser.
 
 
 
You have the choice of your [[WebHosting|static website]] (default) or your [[Blogs|Blog]] appearing as your main web site.

From the dropdown box, select whether you wish users to see your ''Blog'' or your ''Static Site'' by default. 
 
 
 
If you are unsure of this, you should leave it as ''Static Site''.

== Add Domain Alias ==
 
 
 
Here you can add additional domain names that you already own so that when users type your other domain into their browser, your scoilnet website will appear. More information on Domain aliases is available [[Web Hosting Additional Domain Alias|here]].
 
 
 
To use this feature, you must already own the other domain name, i.e. if you wish your domain ''www.school1.ie'' to point to your ''school1.scoilnet.ie'' website, you must already own ''www.school1.ie''.  You must have registered your other domain i.e. ''www.school1.ie'' with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_registrar Domain Name Registrar].
 
 
 
You should then contact your Domain Registrar and ask them to create a CNAME record for your domain, pointing at your ''scoilnet domain name''.
 
 
 
'''Example:''' Your Scoilnet webhosting domain is ''school1.scoilnet.ie'' and you wish to point ''www.school1.ie'' at this website.  You would request a CNAME for ''www.school1.ie'' to point at ''school1.scoilnet.ie'' from your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_registrar Domain Name Registrar] (the company you bought the domain from).
 
 
 
[[Image:WebHostingCP-8.png]]
 
 
 
Once you have your CNAME pointing at your Scoilnet domain, you can add the domain as a domain alias.  You do not need to put ''www'' in front of your domain.  This will be added automatically.  You can add further domain names and delete ones already setup on this page.
