Hostname and subdomain

It is a fine line between Host and Subdomains. In Active24 you can set up a Host that functions as a subdomain without it’s own name servers as described below.

What is a Host Name?
A hostname will name a service associated to  a domain. The most common hostname  is www that names the web service  for a domain.

 

What is a subdomain name?
A Subdomain is a domain beneath an existing domain and has it’s own name server referance. Under a subdomain you name multiple hostnames for the service associated to the subdomain.

Example of subdomains:
information.exampledomain.com
wap.exampledomain.com
yourname.exampledomain.com


How do I add?

First you must change to Advanced Mode and after click on Domain Admin under Domain in the menu on the left-hand side:






click on the edit icon to the right:




Please enter the new IP address or record and then click update:
