BoogieMan Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 I have an account that register with abc.com,says. Now I want to use sub1.abc.com, but I don't want to use the same account and space with abc.com. So may I register a new account but still use the subdomain of abc.com, ex. sub1.abc.com,as its doamain name? Quote
TCH-JimE Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 Hi, No thats not possible at all. You may only have 1 domain name in the main account. You may park domains on top of the account, but never direct them to any other subdomain. This would be in violation of TOS and AUP agreements and your account would be terminated. If you wish to do this, I suggest you get a reseller account where you can host as many as you have space! Jim Quote
TCH-Dick Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 I don't think that was his question Jim, the way I understood it was can he get an entirely separate hosting account for his subdomain. He doesn't want to use his main domains space or bandwidth for his subdomain. Quote

TCH-JimE Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 (edited) Hi, Do you mean that you want a subdomain to point to a new hosting account? Jim Edited September 1, 2003 by Jimuni Quote
TCH-Dick Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 He doesnt want to point another domain name to a subdomain, He wants to order an entirely seperate hosting package and use the subdomain as the domain name. What he is wanting to do is when he goes thru the ordering process he wants to know if he can put subdomain.**** in the place where it asks for domain name. My guess would be no, but I'm not sure.

TCH-Sales Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 I would say more than likely this can't be done, because the domain name and it's sub domains are tied into one account already. I'm about 99.9% sure on this, although I'm still searching around for a definite answer. What I would suggest you look into would be to just upgrade the plan you've got now, then just set your page up as a regular sub-domain. That way you'd have the extra space and your sub-domain title too. There are just too many "ify" things with doing it the other way. Quote
BoogieMan Posted September 1, 2003 Author Posted September 1, 2003 Okey, now I get the answer of my silly question I will think about to register another new domain name or just upgrade my plan. Thanks for you all's advice. Quote
