Subdomains: A way to make logical subdivisions on your website

Sub domains can be a very practical way to add some structure to a website, it can divide it up into a series of logical sub units:

www.yourdomain.com

info.yourdomain.com

news.yourdomain.com

....and so on.

It is relatively easy to setup a sub domain:

When a sub domain is created you can choose to either point a sub domain into an existing folder on the server or create a folder that the sub domains contents will be stored in.

Please notice that the sub domains name MUST be small letters (not capital) and you cannot use special language specific characters in the name. If the system has to create a folder for the contents, it will be created with the same name as the sub domain itself ('news.yourdomain.com' will be created in a folder called 'news').

If you want to delete an existing sub domain you can choose to leave the contents on the server (mark the check box under "Leave folder on disc") otherwise the folder with contents will be deleted - if you choose not to leave the contents on the disk, it is recommended to download a complete copy of the folder in question via FTP or similar BEFORE you delete the folder.
