- On the next page, set up hosting for the IIS web server.


- **Set the domain names **appropriate for your network environment. For more details click [here](https://cue.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Dep/pages/151224364).
- If **Add Domains to HOSTS.etc file** is checked, domains can be used without DNS records in the browser running on this server.
- The **IIS Site name** and **IIS Pool name** fields show how each Site and Pool will be named in the IIS server. You can leave them in their default state or name them according to your usual practice.
- Select which type of SSL certificate will be used:
  - **Generate self-signed certificates **– certificates will be generated by Cue Control Panel
  - **Use certificates I have……. **- use this if you want to use your own certificates

> ⚠️ Now you can start with self-signed certificates, but for production environments you must use valid SSL certificates signed by a public or your corporate certification authority because modern browsers do not consider self-signed certificates as trusted. You can add certificates later, as described [here](https://cue.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HTBCA/pages/482181217).

- Click **Save / Next** to continue.
