Hosting Address

7

Hello, I'm using azure to host like suggested. I made it to the Rock Install steps and its asking for my hosting addresses. I didn't create a hosting address. Is there a guide to complete this step it was not listing in the guide provided.

    Do you have a domain for your church? You can use it for the external site and a subdomain i.e. rock.yourchurch.org for the internal site. Without this setup, you won't be able to access rock other than by IP which is not recommended for security

      If you access the server over remote desktop you can open a browser and go to whatsmyip.net or go to azure and click on your virtual machine and it will have the IP address

      It can take 24-48 hours for DNS changes.
