Is it compulsary to have them on the same ip as the master domain?

i.e

sub1.yourdomain.co.uk - ip - 123.123.132.123

master domain - yourdomain.co. - ip - 123.123.132.111

That possible? long as they are on the same server?

you can have as many domains and subdomains as you want on the same ip.

That wasn't the question cheatman, heh...

-and yes Eddie, different IP are fine as long as you DNS and set it up that way on the machine.

Ok i'm using tera-bytes dns and when i moved slimschat.kchat.org to a different ip it kept going straight to kchat.org. i've now changed it to a different subdomain extentsion until i can put it on a differebt IP.

Do i make a cname????

Have you waited for the DNS to update? I heard from 4ws staff that when you modified the records, it needs at least 4 hours for it to update.

Yeah i gave it 15 hours :)

Is the A name similar to below?

"slimschat IN A 233.233.233.233"

A CNAME will not help as you are not aliasing the domainname your are trying to add a tl sub domain to.

A Record, not CNAME.

Add another A Record for the domain (I'm guessing you already have at least one beig 'www') pointing to the IP that you set the sub on the server.

Ok while we're on it...

I make a subdomain with a A record.

Can it point to a subdirectory on the main (www) site (like sub.domain.com/sub), or do i simply make a new site with a new user and password ?

I guess the last option will work, but what about the first ?

No that won't work, and there are a couple ways of getting around having to create anew user/pass (redirect or symbolic links), but creating the user/pass isn't that difficult.
