SIP domain enrollment¶

You can create up to five SIP addresses under your own Internet domain as follows. In the description below the words Internet domain, DNS zone, SIP domain mean the same thing in different contexts. You may use them interchangeable.

Disclaimer. This service is provided free of charge based on a fair use policy with no support. Do not complain that the SIP service does not work with your particular SIP devices, ask the device manufacturer instead.

1. Login account setup¶

Register a login account at SIPThor Net platform

The login account will allow you to manage the data necessary to be able to use your own SIP domain and create accounts under it.

2. Internet domain setup¶

Register an Internet domain with an Internet domain registrar or SIPThor Net. This allows you to manage the DNS zone associated with your Internet domain and add the DNS records required to use the SIP servers provided by SIPThor Net infrastructure.

If you have registered your domain with SIPThor Net go to step DNS zone delegated by SIPThor Net

3. DNS zone setup¶

For anyone to be able to communicate with you using you own SIP address, they must be able to find the SIP server(s) that serve your Internet domain. When using this service, the SIP servers belong to SIPThor Net infrastructure. For this to happen, you must add certain DNS records to the DNS zone for your Internet domain at the DNS hosting provider that manages your DNS zone.

You have two choices.

A. DNS zone served by a third-party¶

You can have your Internet domain registered and its DNS zone management provided by a third party. Provision the following DNS records into the DNS zone managed by the third party.

example.com.              3600 IN    NAPTR  10  100 "s" "SIPS+D2T "" _sips._tcp.example.com.
example.com.              3600 IN    NAPTR  20  100 "s" "SIP+D2T" "" _sip._tcp.example.com.
example.com.              3600 IN    NAPTR  30  100 "s" "SIP+D2U" "" _sip._udp.example.com.
_sips._tcp.example.com.   3600 IN    SRV    100 100 443 proxy.sipthor.net.
_sip._tcp.example.com.    3600 IN    SRV    100 100 5060 proxy.sipthor.net.
_sip._udp.example.com.    3600 IN    SRV    100 100 5060 proxy.sipthor.net.
_msrps._tcp.example.com.  3600 IN    SRV    0   0   2855 msrprelay.sipthor.net.
_stun._udp.example.com.   3600 IN    SRV    0   0   3478 stun1.sipthor.net.
_stun._udp.example.com.   3600 IN    SRV    0   0   3478 stun2.sipthor.net.
xcap.example.com.         3600 IN    TXT    "https://xcap.sipthor.net/xcap-root/" 

Replace example.com with your own Internet domain.

You can have your Internet domain registered with a third party and have the DNS records belonging to your Internet domain managed by SIPThor Net. At the domain registrar where you have registered your Internet domain, you can delegate the administration of the DNS zone belonging to your Internet domain to SIPThor Net name servers by pointing the existing NS records of your domain to the following name servers:

• ns1.dns-hosting.info
• ns2.dns-hosting.info
• ns3.dns-hosting.info

Proceed to next step DNS zone served by SIPThor Net
