Hi all! I’m using this tutorial to install my wordpress. All works perfect.
But in step five i’ve a doubt in nginx server block. I don’t know which is the best option in “server name” :
server {
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name your_domain.com;
What option would you recommend: IP or domain name?
Thanks!

You should use the domain name for that. The main use of the
server_nameconfiguration is if you have multiple domains or subdomains hosted at the same IP address. It allows Nginx to direct requests to the right place.
