Hostname & working domain
In addition to the DNS host name, a wildcard working domain is also available for all managed servers so that web applications can also be tested without their own domain.
Server hostname
The DNS hostname of the server is generated using the following scheme: XXXXX.creolineserver.com. The five-digit (here XXXXX) alphanumeric identifier consists of the unique server ID. The DNS host name of the server is also resolved via RDNS (reverse DNS) so that you can easily operate an e-mail server, for example.
More information about RDNS: Configure RDNS entry
No Internet pages should be made available under the server host name. Always use the working domain of your server for the provision of websites or test environments.
Working domain
The server's working domain is used to test web applications even without your own domain. The working domain is provided here by default via the following scheme:
XXXXX.creoline.cloud.
Special feature: Not only the working domain triggers correctly to the server, but also the associated wildcard domain can be used. ( *.XXXXX.creoline.cloud ).
For example, app1.XXXXX.creoline.cloud and app2.XXXXX.creoline.cloud can be used at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the technical hostname XXXXX.creolineserver.com **?
The technical host name can only be changed if the pre-installation supports the change. For example, the technical host name can be changed in Plesk-based servers.
**Can I change the subdomain prefix of my working domain?
The subdomain prefix of the working domain cannot be customized and is automatically generated by us. If you want to reach your service via a user-defined DNS name, you need access to a DNS zone. The DNS zone does not necessarily have to be registered with creoline.
