Creating cPanel accounts with sub domains instead of a domain. can it be done? Why I want to do this is because I offer a free package with just the basics and a http://user.mydomain.com.
and i think that it's required for the main domain (the one that has the subdomains) to be on the same server.
hmm, i posted after you, and yet thios forum thinks i posted 3 minutes before you. That happens alot lately.
For simplicity it's required. It can be done if the domain is on another server, but then the zone files would have to be edited manually on the other server to point the subdomain to the right server.jester.ro said:
The domain is local. Its the one to my WHM. Okay. Does the subdomains have to be created prior to the account creation?
Just so I understand this. You say use the full sub domain url so I would then use http://subdomain.domain.com and not subdomain.domain.com... I tried with the subdomain.domain.com and no go... gonna try the other way...
Account created just fine, just couldn't access it via http://sub.domain.com
I will try it again and let it stew a bit longer however I think I had it like that for 30 hours or so and it still didnt resolve.

Oh, I'm also doing this with a WHM/ cPanel reseller account if it matters? and the dns server isnt of my domain. it uses a netural address (ns.dnsprotect.com) if that matters?
And when I created the account I noticed this in the setup thing.
Shouldn't it be http://sub.domain.com?
