1.<\/span>Choosing Your Domain Name<\/span> #<\/span> <\/div><\/h3>\nChoosing your domain name is the first step in getting started with staking your claim on the web. Your domain name is a unique Web address (e.g. yourname.knight.domains)<\/em> that can be used to build out your own digital presence. As you make your choice, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\nYour Domain Name Must Be Available<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDomain names must be unique, which means in order for you to claim your own, you need to be sure that it is currently available (and not being used by anyone else or any company or organization). There are lots of tools to check on domain availability, and when you sign up on knight.domains, we\u2019ll actually check the availability of your choice for you. If you\u2019d like to spend some time thinking about a top-level domain name<\/a> and checking availability before you actually sign-up, we recommend using\u00a0whois.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChoose a Domain You Can Live With<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou should choose a domain name that you feel you can live with for quite some time.\u00a0You should pick something that you won’t find embarrassing in the future.\u00a0<\/strong>A good rule of thumb is to pick a domain that you would be comfortable putting on a future job application.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou May Wish to Include Your Name in Your Domain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is no requirement that your domain reflects your specific identity in the form of your first and last name. However, choosing a domain name that includes your name may make it easier for you to achieve higher rankings in search engines when someone queries your real name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pick a Domain you Like<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAt the end of the day, your domain should reflect you. Pick a domain you like and are proud of. It can reflect your interests, sports you play, your hobby, or it could just be your name. The \u201cright\u201d domain for you is the one you’re comfortable with.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Once you’ve reviewed the guidelines, you can proceed to the sign-up page.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Click the “Sign Up” Button

For no cost, you can create a subdomain of knight.domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To create a free subdomain of knight.domains, leave this default option selected and enter the subdomain name you want for your website. When you\u2019ve found an available subdomain, click the button labeled “Continue.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Your](\"https:\/\/knight.domains\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-1024x264-1.png\")

While you are at St. Norbert College, this is available for a nominal cost (currently $15\/year). You can continue to use this domain after leaving SNC, although the cost may increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To create a top-level domain, selected “Register a new domain” and enter the name you want for your website. Click the button labeled “Continue.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Registering](\"https:\/\/knight.domains\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/newdomain1.png\")

This article outlines the types of accounts that you are likely to have, what they are for, and how you go about resetting passwords on each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Knight.Domains Account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When you first sign-up for your domain and hosting, a Knight.Domains account will be generated that provides you with access to your slice of the web server. Your Knight.Domains account is automatically associated with your St. Norbert College Google account and password. Therefore,\u00a0your St. Norbert College email and password will grant you access to your Knight Domains account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYour Application Administrator Accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Every time you install a new application in your Dashboard, an Administrator Account for that application will be created. You will likely use these accounts very often \u2013 every time you need to login to your application to manage the associated website, you will use this account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if you install WordPress to manage your website, every time you need to add content to WordPress, change your theme, approve comments, etc. you will use this account to login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually, you will be given the opportunity to choose the username and password for that account. We recommend choosing something that you are likely to remember but that is strong and secure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUpon installation, you will likely receive an email confirming the user-id\/password combination you chose. It will also have information about how to access the login page for that application. You may wish to make sure you don’t delete this message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the application you’re working with, managing and resetting the password for this account will vary. If you’ve used Installatron (in the Dashboard) to install the application, however, you can always review the account credentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Log into Knight.Domains at https:\/\/knight.domains\/dashboard\/<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Find the application you installed under My Applications<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click the Edit<\/strong> button (this looks like a blue wrench).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Scroll down to find the Administrator Username and Password.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In addition, most applications should have some kind of password reset link on the login page. For more information on resetting your application password through Installatron, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOther Types of Accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the account types outlined above, there are a few other kinds of accounts you may have as part of this project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- When you sign up for subdomain\/top-level domain, Knight Domains will automatically create an FTP<\/strong> account for you by default. You\u2019ll also have the option of manually creating your own FTP account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Application User Accounts: In addition to the Administrator Account that you set up when installing an application, most applications will also let you set up user profile accounts within each application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>Was this helpful?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t Yes <\/a><\/span> \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t No <\/a><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>Suggest edit <\/a><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

To spark your imagination, here are some ideas that might help you get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Install a Web Application in Your Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This hosting space makes it very simple to install certain Web applications in your knight.domains account. Web applications are just special software that run on a web server. Usually, they allow you to build and manage a website. The kind of site you can build depends on the type of application you install. Here are some examples of applications that you can easily install within the knight.domains web hosting interface:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this project, you’ve received a domain name that you can actually subdivide and organize anyway you like. One easy way to organize your domain is to create subdomains, in which you can then install other applications. In addition, you can just set up subfolders for your site (which can also have their own applications installed in them).

Organize Your Site with Subdomains and Folders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Through this project, you’ve received a domain name that you can actually subdivide and organize anyway you like. One easy way to organize your domain is to create subdomains, in which you can then install other applications. In addition, you can just set up subfolders for your site (which can also have their own applications installed in them). Here’s an example of how you might organize your site (using the subdomain vs. the subfolder approach)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
