Server Setup • Server Setup • Application requirements • Web server to be used • Web server modules • Third party tools/software • Database requirements • Operating System • OS is important • Windows is not case sensitive but Linux is case sensitive. • Server Security • Install and configure firewall • Antivirus • Mail security
Domain Settings • What is domain? The term domain can refer either to a local subnetwork or to descriptors for sites on the Internet (e.g., www.indiana.edu).
Domain Name / Host Name • Descriptive name for an IP • www.accountabilityadvantage.com = 70.33.254.14 • Top Level Domain • Sub-Domain
Domain Name System (DNS) • An Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. • Computer sends request to the nearest DNS server which returns the IP corresponding to the domain name.
Domain Record • NAME is the fully qualified domain name of the node in the tree. • TYPE is the record type. It indicates the format of the data and it gives a hint of its intended use. For example, the A record is used to translate from a domain name to an IPv4 address, the NS record lists which name servers can answer lookups on a DNS zone, and the MX record specifies the mail server used to handle mail for a domain specified in an e-mail address
DNS record types • A – Maps to IPv4 • AAAA – Maps to IPv6 • CNAME - Canonical name record Alias to another DNS lookup • MX – Mail exchange http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types
