You need to setup a "System Accounts" customer, order a domain package,
and provision your domain.  Then you need to edit the service definition
to use this domain as a Default or Fixed value.  This is documented in
httemplate/docs/admin.html.

Provision the customer first, then use the "Order package" link.

No.

Follow all steps in httemplate/docs/admin.html explicitly.
