Question About Sub-domains

[Mae]

I kind of understand sub domains, but not 100%, so I'll ask a specific question w/a scenario to see if what I'm thinking works as a sub domain:

If I want to separate my class website from my commercial website, can I make my class a sub domain? How do I go about providing a web address for my class w/o linking w/my commercial section? Does that make sense? I don't mind linking my commercial (teacher) site to my class, but I would like to keep my class separate.

You can create a subdomain for the class site. You create the subdomain through cpanel. It will create a folder the same name as what you enter for the subdomain. Then to access it you would enter:

 

http://subdomain.yourTCHdomain.ext

 

or

 

http://yourTCHdomain.ext/subdomain

 

The first way is the most used.

On a virtual account, you may have one or several domains parked and pointing to the same pages. You may not host different domains for separate folders.

 

They must be like:

subdomain1.domainA.com

subdomain2.domainA.com

and so on.

 

You can per the AUP not point domainB to subfolder/subdomain2 for example.

 

On a reseller account, you can point a special domain to a subfolder.
