How to use subdomains?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 09.2012

Hello ?

I am developing a website [URL=”http://www.zilex95.net/”]http://www.zilex95.net/[/URL], and it was meant for some League of Legends streaming. After I started I decided I wanted to make a Minecraft Server and let it be a part of the site, and so on…

So my question is, how can I use subdomains? I would like all the streams to be on e.g. stream.zilex95.net, and the Minecraft stuff on mc.zilex95.net… etc.

I am using FreeDNS, [URL=”http://freedns.afraid.org/”]http://freedns.afraid.org/[/URL].

But keep in mind that subdomains share the same IP as the main domain.

Thank you for responding, but what I can't figure out is how to have different parts of the website in different subdomains. Can I make a folder and link it to the subdomain?

As I said earlier, I want a subdomain like "stream.zilex95.net/home" and there i could have a homepage for the streams and then on and on with "/stream_00342/". So how can that content be viewed only if you put in stream. before the adress?=

@tracknutAug 17.2012 — "stream.zilex95.net/home" wouldn't be a subdomain, but "stream.zilex95.net" could be. As mentioned, look at your hosting control panel to see if then allow it (not all will). If they do, then yes typically you'd associate a subdomain with a particular folder in your host.
