Domain Name Configuration

Introduction

The domain name is the address through which the internet users can access the website rather than entering the whole IP address in the search bar of the browser.

This domain name is ideally chosen by the state/client since its a product which has to be used for/by them.

Data Table

Following is the table through which the information can be shared.

Procedure

Since all state governments/clients prefer to host the websites on their servers, this activity is ideally done by them.

Data Definition

Steps to fill data

Following are the steps which are to be followed:

2. Get a good understanding of all the headers in the template sheet, their data type, size, and definitions by referring to the ‘Data Definition’ section of this document.

3. In case of any doubt, please reach out to the person who has shared this template with you to discuss and clear your doubts.

4. If the state agrees to host the website on their server, provide them with the 2 columns mentioned in the attached template.

5. If the state disagrees to host on their server, then a domain name has to be purchased by any of the external vendors and the EXTERNAL-IP address has to be mapped with them.
