What is a Sub Domain?
Sub Domains are essentially sub web sites that point to a folder inside your main domain's web site.
For example, the sub domain http:// forum .example.com will point to http://www.example.com/ forum .
The sub domain is also created as an application starting point so scripts in the sub domain's folder
will be treated as separate applications with their own globals, etc - as long as they are accessed
via the sub domain's URL.
How do I create a Sub Domain?
- Logon to your Helm Control Panel and click on the Domains link.
- From the list, click on the Domain Name to which you
want to add a Sub Domain.
- Click the Sub Domains link.
- Click the Add New button.
- Enter the Sub Domain Name prefix and click Save .
Note that Helm will attempt to create a folder in the main web site's root
folder with the same name as the sub domain. So if you want to create a sub
domain called forum .example.com there can't be
an existing folder called forum in the main web site's root
folder. If there is, the sub domain creation will fail. |
