Sub Domains

Sub-domains are a neat feature included on every Talos4 hosting account. Sub-domains are 3rd level domain names. They are in the format: subdomain.yoursite.com. Sub-domains are useful for separating parts of your site or hosting separate websites on your domain name. To create a sub-domain, enter CPanel. Then click on the button shown to the left, under which it says Sub-domains

subdomains The sub-domain page looks similar to the image on the right. It lists the current sub-domains and then below that there is a field where you can enter a new sub-domain and create edit. To create a new sub-domain, enter its name in the text box and click add. The system will then create the sub-domain and create a sub directory with the same name as the sub-domain in public_html where you can upload pages to the sub-domain. It will also create a cgi-bin directory in that folder where you can put your cgi scripts.

To delete a sub-domain, simply select it from the drop down box next to the Delete button, and click to delete it.

An extra feature of sub domains is you can create a FTP account to allow FTP access to it without giving out your main FTP password for the rest of your site.
