    Hello,

    I have a site that has a few links pointing to www. www. mydomain.com. I've tried to set up a subdomain called "www" in cPanel but it's not allowing me to do so.

    Does anyone know a work-around to this? Ideally I woud like to redirect www .www .mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com.

    Thanks!

    Its not possible to setup a subdomain like www. www. yourdomain.com. The way apache parses the request will cause loop issues. You could technically add a DNS A record for the www but 9/10 its already created for the use of www. yourdomain.com.

    Impossible!
    A dns A record is already there for www . yourdomain . com, if it is not there, then your domain will not work when someone visits www . yourdomain . com

    A subdomain www. will conflict with the dns record and cpanel is preventing it.
    it is best that you create ww1.yourdomain.com, if you have files hosted in many different servers.
