I finally decided to purchase a dedicated for my site. I got Raq4i.
First of all I am a true newbie to the webservers issue since I never had one before, so I apologize for asking the question. I look into several messages on the List and yet I couldn't find a solution that works. I am trying to use the interface RAQ4i provides and I am scared of doing anything related to telneting.


Anyway.


In my example I created a virtual site called (example) www.domain.com
I assigned the ip address for this site,
I went and assigned two A addresses in DNS setting:
www.domain.com and domain.com both directed to the same ip address


Than I created another virtual site (example) www.subdomain.domain.com (when creating it I put as host www.subdomain and as domain: domain.com). In the same window I created Web Server aliases as: www.sudomain.domain.com and subdomain.domain.com.
I have assigned ip exactly the same as I did for www.domain.com


I went to DNS setting and I created two "A" entries. One for www.sudomain.domain.com and another one for subdomain.domain.com both directing to the same ip.


At the end I have four entires in my DNS setting:
www.domain.com
domain.com
www.subdomain.domain.com
subdomain.domain.com


I have no problem of getting into www.domain.com or domain.com but heck can't access www.subdomain.domain.com nor subdomain.domain.com.


Once again, many of you I am sure heard this before or helped somebody, but I count on your patience with almost illiterate person that decided to go to dedicated server not knowing ANYTHING about it :-)


Thanks for you understanding and eventual help :-)


Kris:confused:

Im pretty sure that you have to create the site using just subdomain as the host and the domain. I dont think that creating www.subdomain will work.

You can, however, make the web server alias point to www.subdomain.yourdomain.com

Hope this helps alittle.

Thanks Jim for you attempt to help me. I did what you said and still no avail.

I actually created to separate sites on my RaQ4i:
one called www.domain com and another one www.subdomain.domain.com. I don't want to point subdomain.domain.com to domain.com. I want this site to be completely independent yet still carrying second level domain :)

More help is still needed.

Thanks a lot.

Aloha did you get this figured out ???
I f I am correct you must loose the "WWW"
www.sub.maindmain.com
should just be
sub.maindomain.com
so when ya call it
it will be like

http://sub.maindomain.com
not
http://www.sub.maindomain.com

try that ???
