Sub-Domain Configuration

[rigadon]

Hi Paul/Jacob/Everyone else

My domain is www.bowdonrufc.com.

I am looking to add two sub-domains to my configuration. How will the additional files be stored on the server? I'm guessing there are three options:

a) files stored in d:/domains/subdomain.bowdonrufc.com/

b) files stored in d:/domains/bowdonrufc.com/subdomain/

c) files stored in d:/domains/bowdonrufc.com/wwwroot/subdomain/

I don't think it matters how it is setup (though personally I think (a) would be ideal) but I need to know how so I can configure my local version accordingly prior to purchasing anything.

Also, I have a domain alias, bowdonrufc.co.uk, which I need the sub-domains to work for as well - ie - subdomain.bowdonrufc.co.uk must resolve. Will this automatically work because of my existing domain alias or do I have to add additional extras?

Please reply ASAP as this is a matter of some urgency

Thanks
Jay

Jay,

Subdomain files are in the form - d:/domains/bowdonrufc.com/wwwroot/subdomain/

However subdomains will not show on a domain alias, only the main hosted domain.

Thanks Paul - is there any way around the domain alias problem or am I stuck with it? Could I create a domain alias for subdomain.bowdonrufc.com from subdomain.bowdonrufc.co.uk?

If there is no workaround don't worry - I don't think it will matter TOO much

Oh and what is stored in the subdomain folder? Is there another wwwroot folder or is this effectively the wwwroot for that subdomain?
