SLD Questions

[cipcip]

Ok, so in my country ( Romania ) are lot of firms that sell secondary level domains...

Some examples: firm.ro, store.ro, ro.im, co.ro, com.ro and many others!

My question is: What do I have to do to make a SLD?

I already have a domain name which i am willing to use...

The domain name is http://www.xvid.ro

Any help please ?

Thanks in advance!

You need some very robust name servers, and a web interface for purchasing and managing them. If the domain were better I'd offer to do it for a share of the profits.

There should be an option in your webhosting control panel to create subdomains, If there isn't then you need to switch to a host that allows subdomains. A reseller webhosting plan that allows your multiple clients to login would be needed.

It's called "delegation", you can read about it in your DNS server software documentation.

Please explain, what is a SLD? :confused:

[cipcip]

a sld is a secondary level domain ... for example www.something.co.nr

a primary level domain is something like www.something.com ( net, org, info, biz, us, ro and others )

Ah.. I get it now.

Centralnic sells subdomains (ie xxx.us.com, xxx.eu.com...) and allows remote hosting.
Perhaps their FAQ page will help you figure out how they do it.

a sld is a secondary level domain ... for example www.something.co.nr


So you mean a ccTLD in another words?


Isn't www.something.co.nr a 3rd level ccTLD? www.something.nr would've been a 2nd level ccTLD.

[cipcip]

as far as i know something.co.nr is a 2nd level ... and something.nr is a first level tld
