QNAP Hosting Websites Part 1: Hosting Multiple Websites Setup

[@abanesebiane1171]

You are my saviour bro, it's been 3 month i was working to host my website on my qnap but the domain name wasn't working. And now it is finally working. Thank you very much for you video

You are most welcome, happy to help

At 2:11 on the Web Server setup page the HTTP port is 80 and the HTTPS port is 8082. Then at 2:29 on the Virtual Host setup page the HTTP port is 82 while the HTTPS port remains 8082. How did that happen?

[@CodeVelazquez]

Lol if you catch the time between the two points, 2 minutes jump forward so I likely experienced some issue and needed to change it. If I'm not mistaken, I think port 80 and port 443 are the default ports for accessing your server directly (to login). So I would recommend to not only change those default ports, but to also use different ports from those at this point in the video when your setting up access to your web pages. I used 82 (http) and 8082 (https) but these are also not as important as the ports you specify for the web pages themselves, since if you want to access the different web pages outside your house, they all need to use the same http and https port you set (which can be different even from this point). So to sum it up: I changed the port, you can generally use whatever port you want (although it will complain if the port is already in use), most important section is where you specify the port for the particular web page

Code V, can I point my DNS A Record @ QNAP DDNS IP? Technically, I've already done it but it seems there is a mess of overlapping GUI settings to allow the passage HTTP request through QNAP DDNS. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Which QNAP server do you use? If I buy a QNAP TR-004 or QNAP TS-233, can I use it like this?

[@CodeVelazquez]

You won't be able to use the TR-004 like this, as that model is a USB-C direct connection model. Meaning it's meant for direct connection to a computer. You could arguably achieve something close connecting it directly to a router, but I can't promise you that interfacing with it will be the same as the regular NAS models like the TS-233 your looking at. As long as it is an actual NAS (networked, accessible over your network connection). You should be able to do everything I've done with some slight adjustments since the models will be much newer than what I have, which is the TS-431p. My model is super old, so I wouldn't look for that one in particular, whatever you can afford that has ethernet connections (connect to your router) and you should be good. One last thing that will only matter if your going to get more technical with the things you can do, if you have the opportunity to avoid ARM processors, it will make certain "extra" things a lot more easier. But this only matters if your trying to use something like docker and install applications to run off of dockers as sometimes you will have to do digging to find the "right" version of the software that supports ARM processors. To reiterate, there's nothing wrong with ARM processors, you will just need to keep it in mind when installing stuff from outside the QNAP store (like docker images)

how to get domain ?

[@CodeVelazquez]

Are you referring to a domain anybody can go to, or just you? If your talking about one that everyone can go to, which is what I have, you have to already own one, i.e buy a domain name from a service provider. I use to have Google domains, but they sold their take to squarespace, so you can try there and many others.
