Double Subdomain

windows

Guest
I came across a link recently that was <br /><br /><a href="http://sub1.www.sitename.com" target="_blank">http://sub1.www.sitename.com</a><br /><br />I'm assuming the www in this case is a directory or sub1 where sub1 is the subdomain?<br /><br />Anyone have any ideas on this? I'd like to have the ability to set up links in a similar fashion.<!--content-->
I've never done a double subdomain, but it looks like you can set them up in the Subdomains section of your CPanel.<br /><br />To set up <!--sizeo:2--><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->http://sub1.sub2.your-TCH-domain.com<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->, you'd first create the sub2.your-TCH-domain.com subdomain. Then you'd select sub2.your-TCH-domain.com in the drop-down box next to the "Add" button and create the sub1 subdomain, which I think would give you sub1.sub2.your-TCH-domain.com.<br /><br />I guess you can give it a try and see if it works. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><!--content-->
Last I heard when this was discussed several months ago, this was not available on TCH servers.<!--content-->
Thank you Rob and David. I'll test it out... maybe I'll get lucky. I can't tell you how many times I've discovered something new just by attempting things that you just 'knew couldn't work'.<!--content-->
I tried this, and indeed, it does <b>not</b> work.<br /><br />When you are in cPanel, if you try to add the subdomain "test" to "subdomain.example.com", cPanel will tell you that the creation was sucessful, however, if you try to access <a href="http://test.subdomain.example.com" target="_blank">http://test.subdomain.example.com</a>, it doesn't work.<br /><br />If you look at your folder structure, you will discover that cpanel created the "test" folder in /public_html/ directory, NOT the /public_html/subdomain/ directory.<br /><br />But you can't simply use "test.example.com" because that doesn't work either. You can only access the contents of this folder by going to example.com/test.<br /><br />So, while cPanel TELLS you that the subdomain creation was successful, it won't work when you try to actually use it.<!--content-->
sub.sub.domains are not supported here.<!--content-->
Well, at least I have my answer. Thank you for being so helpful, gang.<!--content-->
