Host

In PageSeeder, a host is one of the attributes of group folder and URI. It must be a valid hostname as defined by RFC 3986.

Default host

The default host on your server is the websiteAddress global property.

Host configuration

Other hosts can be specified. They can only be configured by administrators on PageSeeder.

PageSeeder can support:

  • Multiple hosts which are considered by PageSeeder to be different.
  • Host aliases which are considered by PageSeeder to be equivalent to a host.

Internal and external hosts

Internal hosts are generally used for documents stored on PageSeeder and can only be added by administrators. Only internal hosts can be used for group folders.

External hosts are used for URLs and are automatically added when a new URL is added to a group.

See URI for an explanation of the difference between documents, folders, and URLs.
