    Note that, on more recent versions of Control Center (1.2.0 and later) that support host authentication, it is better to add a host to CC from the command line. The command would look like:

    `serviced host add --register :4979`

    This command adds and *registers* the host in one step. If you add the host from the CC UI, the host will not be registered/authenticated, and further steps would be needed to authenticate the host.
