Application for

Virtual Host Service

Virtual Host Service allows your Web pages, hosted on the DCN Web Server (www.dcn.davis.ca.us), to be accessed directly using your DNS domain name.

Without Virtual Host Service, a URL with your domain name, like
http://mydomain.com/
is equivalent to
http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/
and will point to the DCN home page rather than your own.

With Virtual Host Service, the URL with your domain name refers directly to your Web Pages.

Before proceeding with your application for Virtual Host Service, please review the DCN Network Pricing Information page.
