A dedicated [[SmartSimple]] server is initially accessed by its IP address until such time as the appropriate DNS entries are created.
Access through the IP address alone can complicate access to multiple instances that you create on the server, plus make it difficult for [[User|users]] to remember the address when wishing to access the server.
Once the DNS entries have been established, new [[Instance|instances]] created on that server will be accessible via the [[Alias|alias]] and the domain e.g. 345353.anyserver.com (where 345353 is the new [[Alias|alias]] and anyserver.com is the server). Note: initially each new [[Instance|instance]] is automatically created with a numeric [[Alias|alias]] that you change to a more meaningful value when you log into the new [[Instance|instance]] as the [[System Administrator]] for the first time .
The following DNS entries should be made when you wish to attach a dedicated [[SmartSimple]] server to a specific domain. In these examples, the domain "anyserver.com" is used to illustrate the entries required.
Within the DNS server enter an asterisk "*" as an A record and point this entry to the [[SmartSimple]] Server, example:
*.Anyserver.com (214.xxx.xxx.xxx - SmartSimple IP Address)
Set the WWW record to the IP address of the web server.
www.anyserver.com (123.xxx.xx.xxx web server IP Address)
Set the SMTP record to the IP address of the SMTP server.
pop3.Anyserver.com (345.xxx.xxx.xxx SMTP IP Address)
This completes the entire DNS configuration process.
