Subdomains

All Subdomains are listed in the column subdomains with their actual target. The target is the document directory for the subdomain.

Each subdomain has its own directory, in which web documents have to be stored. By default this is the name of your domain with ~/ as a prefix, for example ~/www.domain.com. Please note that ~/ is an abbreviation of your home directory.

Click on Target next to the subdomain, to configure a new document directory for the subdomain.

Click on Catch-All next to the subdomain, to enable/disable the catch-all function of this subdomain.

Example 1:
You own the domain domain.com and the subdomains www.domain.com and test.domain.com. None of the subdomains is set up as a catch-all.
The following web calls are made:

  1. http://domain.com - the subdomain www.domain.com will be requested
  2. http://www.domain.com - the subdomain www.domain.com will be requested
  3. http://xyz.domain.com - an error message will occur, because there is no subdomain xyz.domain.com.

Example 2:
You own the domain domain.com and the subdomains www.domain.com and test.domain.com. The subdomain test.domain.com is set up as a catch-all.
The following web calls are made:

  1. http://domain.com - the subdomain www.domain.com will be requested
  2. http://www.domain.com - the subdomain www.domain.com will be requested
  3. http://xyz.domain.com - the subdomain test.domain.com will be requested, because it is set up as a catch-all.
