Directory setup

Quick question about layout of folders.

DOMAIN FOLDER
index.html
subfold


ok, so the address for
DOMAINFOLDER = http://domain.com
subfold = http://domain.com/subfold

my question is, how do I make a folder work like this...

myfolder = http://myfold.domain.com

???
Hopefully you understand

The "how" depends on your host. Some hosts allow a subdomain to be set up via a control panel, some require you to request the setup directly from them, some will charge a moderate fee (like $5 per s/domain), some might not allow subdomains at all.

Set up your subdir first, then ask the host - that way you'll be ready if he can do it immediately.

Note also that many hosts will only allow a first-level folder to be a subdomain. For example:

DOMAIN FOLDER
index.html
subfold
product.html
sub-sub-folder

They'll allow "subfold" to be a subdomain but not "sub-sub-folder".

You need to get the rules and options from your Host.

Hope that helps.
