Viewing Our Page

The address of our site is composed of the following four elements:

  • Protocol name. The site will usually use the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and so will be http://, but at times it will be its encrypted relative, which is https://.
  • Server address will vary depending on where the user is viewing the site from:
    • Server Name. I will be using the example address http://olmec/ for the rest of this book, because Olmec is the name of the SharePoint server we have in our server farm. If we are browsing the site using a browser on the SharePoint server itself, then we can also use http://localhost/ to view our site.
    • Domain Name. If your network administrator has set up your SharePoint Site, IIS (Internet Information Server), and any firewalls correctly, then the site can be viewed by users outside your network. The domain name that the Wine Company uses is www.winecompany.co.uk (take a look and you will see the example site that we will be building in this book). Notice that the network administrator usually sets up this domain name to point to the site without the need for the user to type in any other items, such as folder or page names, in the address. Often subdomains will be used to point to different SharePoint sites (e.g. forum.winecompany.co.uk or survey.winecompany.co.uk).
  • Site name e.g. hello. The default name of the site that SharePoint creates on your behalf is Pages.
  • Page name e.g. pagename.aspx. If we would like our page to be the first to display in a site, then the name default.aspx should be used.
