Domain Name Configuration

Introduction

The domain name is the address through which the internet users can access the website rather than entering the whole IP address in the search bar of the browser.

This domain name is ideally chosen by the state/client since its a product which has to be used for/by them.

Data Table

Following is the table through which the information can be shared.

Sr. No.	Domain Name	EXTERNAL-IP
	pcwebopedia.com	192.78.98.12

Data given in the table is a sample data.

Procedure

Since all state governments/clients prefer to host the websites on their servers, this activity is ideally done by them.
