how do you have something on your website that comes before the website What i mean is, i am adding something new to my website and it will be called social i want people to open it as social.yousellstuff.com rather then yousellstuff.com/social how do u do this
What you are talking about is creating a subdomain. You can usually set this up inside of your hosting control panel that is provided by your web host provider.
K, i have not used them personally but there should be an icon somewhere in the control panel or a link saying something about domains or something about subdomains
i just talked to there support and they explained it for me. Next question is if the script that that i want to ask asks for www.url.com/admin and i have it set up as social.yousellstuff.com would i just add admin to that
You can easily use social.yousellstuff.com/admin However, some hosts points the subdomain to a folder with same name. So all your content of social.yousellstuff.com will be on yousellstuff.com/social. Then you have to put admin into yousellstuff.com/social/admin Hope this helps you
Well you would just have to adjust the URL for it to fit and it should work, though depending upon the script it could cause problems...only one way to find out
With .htaccess file, you can easily point a subdomain to a fold . It is popular for the large website to have subdomains like http://images.aaa.com . In fact, the subdomain is a fold of root directory . You are free to use any type of URL .
