Sub-domains are a fantstic feature included on every Deals4.co.uk hosting accout. Sub-domains are 3rd level domain names. They are in the format: subdomain.yourdomain.co.uk Sub-domains are useful for seperating parts of your site or hosting seperate websites on your domain name. For example we have set up two subdomains

• http://customers.deals4.co.uk - a site for our hosting clients
• http://support.deals4.co.uk - a site for customers to log requests

To create a sub-domain, enter CPanel. Then click on the button shown to the left, under which it says Sub-domains. When you click on it you will be taken to a subdomain page and the section you are interested is shown below.

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 subdomains 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.
