Specifying a dedicated waiting page

This simply involves specifying a prefix that will be added before the domain name, as follows:

  1. On the Servers screen, click on the Edit button pencil for the On Demand server – this will take you to the Identity tab of the Edit Server screen.

  2. Navigate to the On Demand tab on the Edit Server screen.

    05 02

  3. Enable the Enable the website waiting page at option and enter the prefix in the text box that follows immediately. This prefix will be added at the beginning of the domain names that have been specified in the Linked Domain Names list on the Identity tab.

    05 03

    Note – the prefix should not include a trailing dot or the domain name.

  4. Click Save.

For example, if the linked domain name for a server is cloudmachinemanager.com and the prefix is set as start, a user can browse directly to start.cloudmachinemanager.com to turn the server on.

However, even if the Enable the website waiting page at option is enabled, the user can still browse directly to any page on the cloudmachinemanager.com domain (that they have permission to visit) to turn the server on.
