What is a Subdomain?
It is very common to search a website under their www-address. This version is basically a subdomain of the main domain (Root-domain).
- "www.example.com" e.g. is the www-subdomain of the domain "example.com"
- "mail.example.com" is also a subdomain
By using our Nameserver you can create and configure as many subdomains as you wish.
How to create a Subdomain
To create a new subdomain login into your account, go to Domains - My domains in the menu at the left and select the domain you want to configure.
In the section Create new subdomain please enter the name of the desired subdomain and click Create subdomain to confirm.
