How do I register an odd doman name.

Hey guys ?

I hope you can help me.

We are starting an online gaming site. The network has asked us to register an odd domain name like so..

[url]www.gameserver.sitename.com[/url]

Go daddy does not understand the domain name nor does net registry. There other sites that use the same format so I know it can be done.

I also tried making it into a sub domain but godaddy simply cuts the www off so it becomes gameserver.sitename.com.

The problem is the software accesses the name with www in front ([url]www.gameserver.sitename.com[/url])

So my question is…

How do I register a domain in the format?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Sincerely
Bruce

I actually did create a subdomain called gameserver for it ( gameserver.sitename.com.) but it has to have www in front.

so...

www.gameserver.sitename.com fails to resolve

gameserver.sitename.com works fine.

The software points to www.gameserver.sitename.com which i don't seem to be able to make into a sub domain.

I hope I am explaining that properly hehe

I'm sure that I can help you!

Our DNS system can provide you a "www.gameserver.sitename.com" resolve
