| Sub-domains are a way of
creating separate accounts within your master account, which are
accessed as separate URLs. For example, you could set up a "timber"
sub-domain on your master account "hardware.org.mart", which would be
accessed as "timber.hardware.org.mart". A lot of larger businesses use
sub-domains to establish branding and focus on separate product lines,
because a sub-domain creates a separate URL and web presence. However,
you do not create a new CPanel when you create a
sub-domain. You still perform most administration functions for the
sub-domain through your master CPanel. |
Practically, a sub-domain is
a sub folder within the public_http level of your
account that has it's own cgi-bin directory. The
"timber" example above creates a new top-level folder called
timber, with a cgi-bin sub-folder. Upload
your files for the
sub-domain to this location, including a separate home file (such as
index.htm).Currently you cannot create e-mail accounts with the
sub-domain extension. A workaround for this is to create an account
called "sales-timber@hardware.org.mart", or similar.
|
To add a sub-domain:
- Click on the Sub-domains button on the home
page.
Note: You can only successfully create a
new sub-domain once your DNS number has successfully propagated for
this account.
- Enter the text for the new sub-domain in the field in the
available field. You must conform to domain name conventions for the
addition to the name.
- Click on the Add button. A folder with the same
name as the sub-domain has now been added to your
public_html folder, with a cgi-bin
sub-folder (if CGI scripts are enabled on your account).
