found out that not only do i have to add DNS domains names and host but also allow the services through the firewall

this should be done automatically as modules are configured almost all other servers i have used do this

That is correct. When I configured the webserver I had to allow external connections also.
I assume not everyone has all services enabled at al time, and opening ports on the firewall could pose a security risk.
Guess that's why it needs manual configuration.

Cheers.
