Using your Unix
Control Panel
Adding a Subdomain
To demonstrate how to add a subdomain we
will walk you through the process as
though we were creating the subdomain:
sub.domain.com
- In a
ftp program create a folder in your
webspace that will be the root folder of
our new subdomain. For our demo we will
create a folder called sub.
- In
control panel click "add subdomain".
- The
next page has a form with 2 boxes on it,
The top box is fo the HostName, enter in
the whole subdomain address: So for our
demo we will enter in sub.domain.com
- In the
bottom box, Directory Path, first put in
a slash (/) then put in the name of the
folder that you created in step one. So
for our demo we will put in /sub, then
click submit
- After
you have completed this step, you should
send an email to support noting your new
subdomain so that it may be added to the
server DNS.
After your
subdomain is active, if you try it and get
a permission error saying you can not
access / that means it is working but you
dont have a default document in your root
folder of your subdomain.

the site you would like to setup email
for by clicking on the hostname.

it causes email replication.
