How sub-domains work 
|
Practically, a subdomain is a sub folder within the public_http level of your account that has it's own cgi-bin
directory. For example, if you create a subdomain called today a new top-level folder called today would be created,
with a cgi-bin sub-folder. Upload your files for the subdomain to this location, including a separate home file
(such as index.htm).
You will be able to create as many sub-domains as your package allows.
Note: Subdomains rely on DNS, which means that DNS information must propagate throughout the different DNS servers
on the Internet before your subdomain becomes fully active. This process on average takes a few hours but can take
up to 48 hours. |
Creating a sub-domain
|
| Enter your control panel and click 'Sub Domains', enter the desired name and click add. |
Uploading files
|
| To upload files to a subdomain use the same FTP information as yourdomain.com. Within the public_html folder, there
will be a folder named the same as the subdomain, eg. if the sudomain is called today there will be a folder called
today. Load the sub-domains files into the folder with the same name as the sub-domain. |
Control Panel Access
|
| |
Sub-domains do not have access to the control panel.

| |
Email
|
|
| |
Sub-domains do not have discreet email accounts, if you want a sub-domain user to receive email it will always
be user@yourdomain.com and not user@subdomain.yourdomain.com
The mailbox user@yourdomain.com has to be created, it is not automatically created with the sub-domain
