Connecting a server without a dedicated IP address


Recommended Posts

Hi there, I am trying to connect a server without having a dedicated IP address. The automatic information grabber in the setup wizard did not work and I don't know what to enter. Can anyone help me or link me to a tutorial on how to set it up without a dedi-ip?

 

Thanks,

Rifts.

Rifts:

Certain control panels, (i.e cPanel), require a hostname independent of any hosted on the server. If for some reason the information is not auto-completed, you may need to enter it manually. Your host can give you the hostname if they assigned one on their own domain, or if they did not, you can set one in the control panel, make sure it points to the server IP, and enter it manually in the server details if necessary.

If you are using a control panel that doesn't require a separate server hostname, and you want to connect and manage services by IP alone, you should be able to leave the hostname field blank.
