Subdomains?

[martinkeefe]

Is it possible to setup subdomains? It would be nice to have something like 'sub.domain.com' be mapped to 'domain.com/sub/'. If not, any plans for the future? TIA

Some customers have suggested this feature. We are looking into it. Unfortunately, we cannot give any specifics on this feature at this time though.

A subdomain is called a host name. There are 2 ways to get a host name.

Other web hosts (Interland, Earthlink) have a DNS Configuration screen where you can manage your Address/MX records. There the default host names appear and are already setup by the web host. These include www, ftp, and mail. Each point to their corresponding IP address. Some will use the same IP. Here is where you would add a new Address record with the new host name, in your case "sub" and point it to an additional IP address.

To add a host name directly from IIS, add a virtual web site. On the IP Address and Port Settings screen in the wizard, select the IP address and port.

If you already had domain.com point to IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with the real path E:\domain.com and you wanted to www.domain.com/sub to be viewable as sub.domain.com, then on the IP Address and Port Settings screen you select the same IP as domain.com, port 80, and add the host name "sub". You would then set the Path for the new virtual site to point to E:\domain.com\sub from the Home Directory tab in the properties dialog and applied the changes. Open a browser and type in the address bar sub.domain.com and the default page for www.domain.com/sub would appear.

Question about subdomains. Can they have POP mailboxes? For example: user@sub.domain.net. I of course assume any availble boxes would be withing the general mailbox allotment for the master domain.

No, at this time subdomains do not have POP accounts.
