# Delegation
Without configuring delegation, homeservers will expect the server
responsible for resources using e.g. `example.com` as their `server_name`
(e.g. `@user:example.com`) to be served at `example.com:8448`.
By default, other homeservers will expect to be able to reach yours via
your `server_name`, on port 8448. For example, if you set your `server_name`
to `example.com` (so that your user names look like `@user:example.com`),
other servers will try to connect to yours at `https://example.com:8448/`.
Delegation is a Matrix feature allowing a homeserver admin to retain a
`server_name` of `example.com` so that your user IDs, room aliases, etc
continue to look like `*:example.com`, whilst having your federation
traffic routed to a different server and/or port (e.g. `synapse.example.com:443`).

Note, specifying a port is optional. If no port is specified, then it defaults

With .well-known, federation servers will check for a valid TLS certificate
for the delegated hostname (in our example: `synapse.example.com`).

server (via port 8448). This is easy to set up and will work provided
you set the `server_name` to match your machine's public DNS hostname.
You will also need a valid TLS certificate for this `server_name` served
on port 8448. The preferred way to do that is by using a reverse proxy,
see [reverse_proxy.md](<reverse_proxy.md>) for instructions on how to
correctly set one up.
For this default configuration to work, you will need to listen for TLS
connections on port 8448. The preferred way to do that is by using a
reverse proxy: see [reverse_proxy.md](<reverse_proxy.md>) for instructions
on how to correctly set one up.
In some cases you might not want to run Synapse on the machine that has
the `server_name` as its public DNS hostname, or you might want federation
