Creating a subdomain

Updated

Subdomains are the part of a URL address "in front of" your domain name, separated by a dot. For example docs.gandi.net or www.gandi.net 

 

Subdomains are created directly as DNS records. 

 

If your subdomain points to an IP address, add an A record.

 

If your subdomain points to an address, add a CNAME record. Don't forget the period at the end.

 

Important:

It is best to use Web redirects instead of a CNAME for better search engine optimization.
