    Hey people,

    Maybe it is really simple but how do you creat a sub domain like the following:

    Instead of having a URL such as: domain.com/forum

    How could I make it: forum.domain.com

    Thanks in advance!

    You will need to login to you hosting account for that domain. This could be cpanel, plesk or different software. Then go to the sub domain section and add a sub domain. Some hosting providers do not allow sub domains.. In this case you will need new hosting :).

    Are you just trying to make one subdomain, if so use the examples above, if you are trying to create many on the Fly you need to use WildCard DNS settings and a program that will allow for their creation such as Wordpress MU.
