Subdomains |
READ THIS BEFORE SETTING UP A SUBDOMAIN!
To create a subdomain cpanel asks for the name you wish to use. MAKE SURE the subdomain name
you give it doesn't have a folder already named that name.
If it does the sub will not work. Example... I want to
create the subdomain test.1awebhost.com so my sub name is
going to be test. If I already have a folder in my ftp
named test I need to delete it or rename it to something
different before I create the subdomain with the test name
from cpanel.
www.domain.com is a domain name. A subdomain is anything
that replaces the www in a domain name.forum.1awebhost.com is a subdomain. www.forum.1awebhost.com is not a subdomain.
