 +===== Overview =====
 +
 +At the moment websites require an index.html. Once we have the apps functionality it will allow for any format to be published. Or you can use the API already, but since the UI won’t display the data there is probably no point.
 +
 +Also, you should be able to use the inner folder that httrack generates, as that has an index.html too. If you use the outer folder then it does a weird redirect when loading the site. I avoided this on QortalDemo by zipping the inner folder only.
 +
 +When using httrack, outer folders are generated by httrack to promote itself. An inner folder with the name you gave the job should exist and contain purely the site with no modified data to promote httrack.

 **Step 3** - Publish the website on Qortal in the websites plugin. Click '**+Publish Website**', select the name you want to publish to, and browse for your converted site archive. Once that is complete, click **Publish**. Then **be patient** while the Qortal core does its magic. Everything from that point on takes place automatically as the files are individually hashed, encrypted, and published on QDN. **Step 3** - Publish the website on Qortal in the websites plugin.

 +===== Mapping QDN Websites to a Traditional Domain Name =====
 +
 +It is possible to use a traditional domain name to redirect to a Qortal hosted Website.
 +
 +For this you need to point your domain name at one or more of your Qortal nodes using A or CNAME records (one for each node). Then, on the Qortal nodes themselves, you enable the "domain map" feature and specify which registered name each domain name should point to. Here's an example settings.json:
 +<code>"domainMapEnabled": true,
 +"domainMapPort": 80,
 +"domainMap": [
 +  {
 +    "domain": "examplewebsite.com",
 +    "name": "registeredNameGoesHere"
 +  }
 +]</code>
 +Note: if you are using a port lower than 1000 for the domain map, you may need to grant additional privileges to java in order to bind to that port. In linux, you can run this command after each system boot (make sure to substitute with the actual java path):
 +<code>sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip /path/to/java</code>
 +
 +===== Example Of A Gateway Node =====
 +
 +It is also possible to setup your node as a gateway for traditional internet traffic to access your QDN site. Here is an example: https://qortal.link/crowetic
 +
 +If this is something you'd like to do, please go to the [[How To Setup A Gateway Node]] page.
