 ## Getting Started After Deployment

+1.  Open your web browser and navigate to `http://[domain]/admin`, where *[domain]* is the custom domain you entered during deployment or your Compute Instance's rDNS domain (such as `192-0-2-1.ip.linodeusercontent.com`). To learn more about viewing IP addresses and rDNS, see [Managing IP Addresses](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/manage-ip-addresses/).
