Subdomains

Subdomains icon Subdomains are a way of creating separate accounts within your master account, which are accessed as separate URLs. For example, you could set up a "luxury" subdomain on your master account "cars.co.nz", which would be accessed as "luxury.cars.co.nz". Each subdomain creates a separate URL and appears to be a web presence. However, still access each subdomain through your one Dedicated Server Manager account when you create a subdomain. You still perform all administration functions for the subdomain through Dedicated Server Manager.

Practically, a subdomain is a sub folder within the root level of your account that has it's own top-level directories, such as cgi-bin. The "luxury" example above creates a new top-level folder called luxury, with its own sub-folders. Upload your files for the subdomain to this location, including a separate home file (such as index.html).

To add a subdomain:

  1. Click on the Subdomains link in the navigation area.

  2. Click on the [New Subdomain] link.

  3. Enter the name of the subdomain in the available field and click on the Create Subdomain button.
