How do I create an IP-based site in Ensim?
The following article details the steps involved in creating an IP-based website on an Ensim server. A site can be IP-based or name-based. IP-based sites have a unique IP address; name-based sites have a unique host name but share an IP address with the control panel server.
Before you start, make sure you have all the required information to create a site.
To create an IP-based website, please follow these steps:
- Log into the Ensim Administrator interface.
- In the shortcuts section of the Home page, select Add IP-Based Site.
- Enter the requested Site Information:
- Site Name - the domain name for the site, without www.
- Administrator User Name - the username of the administrator for this site.
- Administrator Password - the password for the Administrator.
- Confirm Administrator Password - retype the password for the Administrator.
- Email Contact - the email address of the Administrator.
- Security Level - select a security level for the site.
- Select a Service Plan - select a service plan from the drop down, or click Advanced to manually assign the services available for this site.
- The Add IP-based Site form expands to display the Service Plan form that allows you to choose the service options you want to enable for the site.
- Use the Service Plan Options Information to help you complete the form.
- Click Add Site.
The control panel creates the new name-based site and assigns a temporary, default home page for it. To view this temporary home page, go to: http://<your_site_name>.
