Set up a specific domain name of a wiki hosted by Wiki Valley

Wiki Valley allows wikis hosted on its platform to have a specific address, such as wiki.votre-organisation.fr. However, this requires a specific configuration of the domain name (DNS) and the SSL certificate.

This option is charged in addition to the standard price of a wiki.

Domain name configuration

Two methods:

• one perennial but slightly slower for wiki visitors,
• the other optimized for display speed for wiki visitors, but may require a bit of maintenance on your part in the long run.

Sustainable method

Caution: this method only works for subdomains, not for a primary domain name like mon-organisation.fr.

1. Log in to your domain name manager (OVH, Gandi, etc.),
2. Open the configuration of your primary domain name, then the list of subdomains (also called DNS records),
3. Add a subdomain:
   • Name: wiki (to create the wiki.mon-organisation.fr subdomain)
   • Type : CNAME
   • Value: dns-stable-redirect.wiki-valley.com. (note the end point)
   • TTL/lifespan: 604800

Optimized method

Attention: the IP addresses indicated are likely to change in the long term (maximum 1 time every year). In case of change, we will contact you two to three weeks before and you will need to register the new IP addresses in coordination with our technical service. It would also be possible to temporarily switch to the first method above, if possible (i.e. if the wiki is installed on a subdomain).

1. Log in to your domain name manager (OVH, Gandi, etc.),
2. Open your primary domain name configuration, then the list of subdomains (also known as DNS records),
3. Add an IPv4 Italic text record:
   • Subdomain (if applicable): wiki (to create the wiki.mon-organisation.fr subdomain)
   • Type : A
   • Value : 92.243.19.233
   • TTL/lifespan : 604800
4. Add a record IPv6 :
   • Subdomain (if applicable): wiki (to create the wiki.mon-organisation.fr subdomain)
   • Type : AAAA
   • Value : 2001:4b98:dc0:43:216:3eff:feee:6eea
   • TTL/durée de vie : 604800

SSL Certificate

The simplest option is for usSSL Certificate to generate a Let's Encrypt certificate for your wiki, so you don't have to deal with this issue.

If you want a certificate from another CA, you will need to send us the certificate associated with the specific domain name with its private key and certificates from the parent authorities, and then send us the certificate renewals over time.
