How to add third-level subdomains

Adding a third-level subdomain from the ServerMate control panel

Suppose you want to add the administration subdomain to the domain mydomain.abc.

In the control panel, under the hosting service associated with the domain (in the example, mydomain.abc), click on the Apri (Open) button and then on the Sottodomini 3° livello (3rd level Subdomains) The following form entitled Imposta sottodominio (Set Subdomain) will be display:

Enter here:

  • 3rd level name: the name of the third level domain, in the example administration.mydomain.abc.
  • Redirect address: specify the destination address of the pages to be displayed under the 3rd level subdomain being created (in the example, www.mydomain.abc/administration/).
  • Use URL Masking: tick if you want to “mask” the address of the destination pages with the one chosen for the third-level; in the example, if ticked, the URL of the pages in the administration folder will no longer show the URL www.mydomain.abc/administration/, but rather administration.mydomain.abc.If unchecked, the effect will be that of a simple redirect, a sort of “jump” from the URL administration.mydomain.abc to the URL www.mydomain.abc/administration/.
