I found most computer things are that way. So soon as someone takes the time to explain the consept everything falls into place.

Glad we could help you cbc58!

you can use the www infront of a subdomain as well. It just needs setting up in DNS and in the virtualhosts (Apache) or hostheaders (IIS)

The weird thing is though...

This domain never worked till I tested it
mail.yahoo.com

Back when I used yahoo, if you added the www it diden't work.

yes, because for example in a regular web site domain like demonhale.com, is still accessible by just demonhale.com

The subdomain named subdomain.demonhale.com is not the same as subdomain.demonhale.com

So maybe thats why youre asking how to go about and make it function like a regular domain?

IMPORTANT!!!!!

It is bad to have a www. in front of a sub-domin.

cPanel has a section on it called "Subdomains". You can set up a subdomain through that.

Hi-

I use cpanel at my hosting company. It automatically sets up the files so they appear mydomian.com/subdirectory.

I want it to be subdirectory.mydomain.com That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Thanks

It is called a sub directory

Do you know what kind of control panel you have?
Some control panels automate the process for you
