Domains you wish to install this product on - All additional domains you want to install the component on. No technical support will be provided for those.

LOCALHOST INSTALLATION If you are installing on the localhost, just enter the domain name of your live site in both, support and install domain. You are not required to define localhost as support or installation domain
