DeatheR Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Hi, I want to know what is called a subdomain. And also how long will it take for a subdomain to be activated? Quote
jje Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 A subdomain is basically an attachment to a domain. Eg. subdomain.domain.com subdomain.domain.com == domain.com/subdomain It takes a few hours for a subdomain to become active. You can add subdomains in cPanel. Quote
DeatheR Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 Will a subdomain act as a seperate domain? I mean can I set up another site using it? Quote
Byron Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 If you want it to act as a seperate domain, use an Addon Domain instead. It will still create the sub-domain but now you can point a domain name to it. Subdomain: http://alpha1omega.byrondallas.heliohost.org Addon Domain: http://alpha1omega.uni.cc If you use the Addon Domain feature instead of the sub-domain feature it will automatically create the sub-domain for you.

jje Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 In cPanel, you can set it so that the contents of subdomain.domain.com is in another folder. Eg. domain.com = /home/jje/public_html sub.domain.com = /home/jje/public_html/subdomain So, to answer yout question, yes you can. Quote

Byron Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 What is your domain name and your sub-domain name? Quote
