Viewing list of subdomains

You can view all the subdomains you own along with their enabled capabilities (Alias, CGI Support).

• Note: To view subdomains, they must be created for your account by your administrator and will be available as an option in the System Menu on the navigation bar at left.

To view the list of subdomains:

1. In the System Menu on the navigation bar at left, click Subdomains.

The Subdomain List form opens displaying a list of subdomains owned by you. The columns in this form are:

• Name - The name of the hosted subdomain.

• CGI - This column indicates whether the subdomain is configured to run scripts on the site. If marked for CGI-compliance, a check mark appears against the corresponding subdomain. A cross appears for subdomains that do not have CGI capability.

• DNS - This column indicates whether the name server used for name resolution is the WEBppliance DNS server or a non-WEBppliance DNS server. A check mark appears against the subdomain, if a DNS entry for the subdomain is made in the WEBppliance DNS server. A cross appears for subdomains that do not have an entry in the WEBppliance DNS server.

• Aliases - An alias allows you to refer to a subdomain by a nickname or an alternative name. This column indicates whether the subdomain is enabled to inherit aliases from the parent domain. Alias-enabled subdomains are indicated by a check mark, while a cross appears for subdomains that do not inherit alias definitions.
  
  For example, if a parent domain, www.yourdomain.com, with the associated alias, www.yourdomain.net, has a subdomain sales.yourdomain.com and the subdomain is configured to inherit alias capability from the parent domain, then you can access the subdomain, sales.yourdomain.com, using the inherited alias, sales.yourdomain.net.

• Important: A subdomain cannot have alias definitions if the parent domain on which it is hosted is not configured with alias capability.

• Actions - This column allows you to view subdomain details.
