Domain name
If the merchant wishes to operate his shop at a separate domain, he should apply to you for this service, as you are his provider. The technical administrator must allow access to this domain via the Web server running the ePages software. As soon as this registration has been completed, you can enter the domain name in the Domain name field. After saving, the URL will be updated and it will be possible to visit the online shop at this domain. It is possible for users to reach the same Web site both with and without prefixing the domain name with www (testshop.com and www.testshop.com both lead to the same Web site). If the Web site operator wishes this to be configured, the technical administrator must configure the system settings accordingly.
SSL certificate
If the SSL Certificate option has been set to Yes, SSL connections to this domain will also be enabled. To do this, the technical administrator must install a new SSL certificate for this domain on the Web server. If a certificate has not been installed, it will not be possible to connect via SSL. If you change this to no, the standard certificate for the provider will be used for all SSL connections. In this case, the SSL connection cannot be made using the merchants own domain name.
