A domain name is a unique name that identifies a Web site. You can point one or more domain names to your Site Studio Web site, and you most likely do this if you plan to make your site publicly available on the Internet.
The way to do this is get the domain name, configure it on a name server, and then map the domain name to your site using Site Studio. This topic only discusses the last step, mapping the domain name. For help configuring the domain name, please contact the appropriate third party.
There are two places in Site Studio where you can map a domain name:
To map a domain name using Site Studio Designer, perform these tasks:
Select File, then Site, then select Advanced, and then Edit Site Addresses.
This opens the Site Addresses dialog (Figure). For more information, see Site Addresses Dialog.
To add a domain, click the New Site Address icon (Figure) and type a name in the space provided.
When you enter a domain name, do not add the protocol specifier (http or https). Only enter the domain name.
Press Enter on your keyboard to add the domain.
Repeat these steps for each additional domain name to add.
To make the domain name the default one used by Site Studio, click Set Default.
To remove an existing domain name, select it and click the Delete icon (Figure).
Click OK.
To map a domain name using the Manage Web Site Addresses page, perform these tasks:
Log onto the content server as an administrator and click Administration.
Click Site Studio Administration to open the Site Studio Administration page.
Click Manage Web Site Addresses to open the Manage Web Site Addresses page.
Enter the domain name in the Address field.
Click Add to add the domain name to the Web site.
The page refreshes, showing the Web site address in the list of addresses.
To make the domain name the default one used by Site Studio, click the Actions icon (Figure) beside the name and choose Select As Default Address.
To remove an existing domain name, click the Actions icon (Figure) beside the name and choose Remove Site Address.
You can map multiple domain names to your site. When you do this, users see whatever domain name they entered the site with the entire time they browse the site. The domain name that you specify as a default is used by Site Studio when you preview your site, assign content to a region, and so forth.
