Sub-Domains

Sub domains
Sub domains are URL's whose unique identifier is one level below or a 'sub' level below of the top level domain. For example, domain.com is a top level domain, and sub.domain.com is a sub domain of the top level domain. The content for the sub domain resides in a directory within the hosting account for the top level domain.

Hosting account clients may automatically create and edit as many sub-domains as their hosting package allows.

The Sub-Domain Manager tool allows you to create, edit and delete sub-domains in an existing domain.

Creating a Sub-Domain

You can create sub-domains only when the Sub-Domain Manager package is enabled for your domain. This section lists the steps to create a sub-domain.

1. Access the Control Panel for your domain

2. Click the Sub-Domain Manager icon in the OPTIONS section. The Sub-Domain Order Form is displayed.

3. Click the Add New Domain button.

Note: After you have created the maximum limit of sub-domains, the Add New Sub Domain button is inactive on the Sub-Domain Order Form page.

4. Enter the name of the sub-domain and directory that you want to create.

5. Click the Submit button.

6. Click the Go Back button to return to the Sub-Domain Order Form age.

Note: By default the index.html file is created for the sub-domains in the sub-domain document root /home/<user>-www/sub domain directory/ folder.
