Subdomains
Subdomains are the first section of a domain name. In, for instance, webmail.greenhost.net, "webmail" is the subdomain.
With Greenhost, you can define an unlimited amount of subdomains to your domain registration. This page describes how to manage these subdomains.

Creating a subdomain
When logged in as account administrator in our Service Centre, click 'Subdomains' under the 'Hosting' tab in the bottom left-hand menu. Then click 'Add subdomain' to create a new subdomain. Fill in the name of the subdomain in the 'Subdomain' field, and click create. Unless you know what you are doing, the 'Webroot' field should be left empty.
After creation, your subdomain has been added as a separate folder next to the DEFAULT folder on the SFTP server. If the domain is registered with a different provider you may need to add a separate DNS record for this subdomain. If you are using our name servers, this manual shows how you can add a DNS record.
Changing subdomains
In the same overview you can see which subdomains have been created. The primary domain is there by default, do not delete or change it. You can change whatever subdomain you have created by clicking on a subdomain, entering the desired name for the subdomain and saving, or you can delete a subdomain by clicking the bin icon.
