What is a subdomain name?
In the Domain Name System (DNS) hierarchy, a subdomain is a domain that
is part of a larger domain. Subdomains generally look like
name.domain.com, e.g. john.my-best-domain.com. It is important to know
that 'www' is also a subdomain of your domain name and is created by
default. Both www.my-best-domain.com and my-best-domain.com will open
your website.
How do I add a subdomain name?
To add a new subdomain and activate it, you must first have an active
domain in your account. Here's what you will have to fill in the form:
Subdomain: Choose a name and write it in the prefix field. In case you
have multiple domains in your account, chose the domain using the
drop-down menu.
IP address: In case you have purchased a dedicated IP, you may set it for the new subdomain from the drop-down menu.
Specify path for files: If you leave it blank, a default folder will be
automatically created, labelled after the subdomain name you have
specified above. You may choose a different folder that already exists
by using the button on the right.
Set Error 404 page: If you leave it blank, the Apache's web server
default page will be used. You may type in the URL (e.g.
http://www.my-best-domain.com/404.html) of your own custom page, which
you'd like to appear when a visitor requests a wrong or non-existing
page/folder within the current subdomain.
Activate FrontPage Extensions: Check the box to activate FPE for this subdomain, or leave it blank to disable FPE.
Activate access & error logs: To enable or disable the saving of
access and error logs for this subdomain, just mark or unmark this
checkbox.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL): If you do not want to use SSL or to disable
it for the current subdomain, simply select 'Do not use SSL' from the
drop-down menu.
What is SSL and how do I activate it?
SSL stands short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol for transmitting
private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to
encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. All web
browsers support SSL and many websites use this protocol to obtain
confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By
convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https://
instead of http://.
To activate SSL for a domain or subdomain name, you must complete the following steps:
1. Obtain an independent (dedicated) IP address from the IP Manager
section of the Control Panel. You will need to purchase a dedicated IP
by using the Upgrade Services menu.
2 a. If you do not have a signed certificate, you can use one with our
signature. In this case select Generate SSL certificate from the
drop-down menu. In case you need a .csr file to be sent for signing to
a Certificate Authority, you may generate one by using the Generate CSR
section of the Control Panel.
2 b. If you want to upload a certificate of your own, which has been
already signed, select Upload SSL certificate from the drop-down menu
and then fill in all four fields, which will appear – the Key, the
Certificate, the Request and the Certificate Authority.
When ready, click on the
