    Network domain: This is the domain that corresponds to your network.
    mybusiness.com

    Server name: This is the domain that the server will respond to.
    www.mybusiness. com

    Admin name and email: This is information that will be displayed if Apache needs to bring up an error page such as a 404.

      • www.google.com
      • dominikings212@ google.com

        No, you need these to be the actual domain name of the computer...Ofte n times scripts will rely on this data for redirection. Additionally, the server can be configured to only respond when the request matches the server name you set up.
