+There are two ways to make a domain accessible from the outside internet.
+
+1. You may register your domain with the Metaverse server by creating a `Domain ID` in the domain's web panel found at http://localhost:40100/.
+2. Alternatively, you can manually open the following ports on your router and firewall:
+
+    * 40100 : (tcp) administration web portal
+    * 40102 : (udp) main connection for clients
+
+----------------------------
+Windows
+----------------------------
+
+1. Download and Vircadia (full, not Interface only).
+2. Use the `Express` install option, or if you use the `Custom` option ensure that both the `Vircadia Interface` and `Vircadia Sandbox` options are checked.
+

+
+3. In your start menu, search for and run `Vircadia Sandbox`.
+4. Go to ``http://localhost:40100/`` (if the server is on a different machine, then replace 'localhost' with the IP address) in your web browser and complete the wizard to set up your domain.
+5. In your Vircadia Interface, open the `Explore` app and enter `localhost` or your IP address to get there.

+Linux .rpm
+----------------------------
+
+1. Open your terminal.

 We are thrilled you've decided to host a custom domain with us on the metaverse! We also understand that setting up a server, configuring it, and creating a domain takes some time and technical knowledge. Hopefully, this section will help you become familiar with the basics of hosting domains in Vircadia, so that you can create the space you want and be a part of building a bigger, more expansive metaverse. 
 
+You can also follow the :doc:`quick start guide <quick-start>` to quickly boot up a domain to tinker with.

 Vircadia's hosting interface consists of the following components that work together to create an immersive VR experience for your visitors:
 
-* The *Sandbox* is a testing environment hosted locally on your computer that gives you a space to play around and build content without affecting any domains in the metaverse. Note that it is possible to configure Vircadia so that your Sandbox is also a registered domain that is hosted directly from your local computer. The Sandbox application can be download from the `Vircadia website <https://www.highfidelity.com/download#sandbox>`_.
-* A *domain* is a registered location in the metaverse. Each domain is assigned a unique ID to identify it. You can sign up for a new domain in one of two ways: either by setting up a Vircadia server or by logging into your account via the Vircadia website.
+* The Vircadia *Sandbox* is a locally hosted environment on your computer that gives you a space to play around and build content in. You can register your Sandbox with the Metaverse to make it accessible from the outside world. The Sandbox is included with full Windows installers from the `Vircadia website <https://vircadia.com/download-vircadia/#windows>`_.
+* A *domain* is a registered location in the metaverse. Each domain is assigned a unique ID to identify it. You can run a domain on a Windows or Linux machine.
 * A *server* hosts a domain, and processes incoming network requests for the domain. The server for your domain is either a physical computer or a cloud-hosted server.
 * A *droplet* or *cloud domain* is a cloud server hosted on DigitalOcean.
 * A *content set* is the content that you've designed to make your domain unique and pretty.
