I actually want something like: http://mysubdomain.domain.com. There is some error in my host's Addon Domains page, so I was wondering if I can add a subdomain in my Registrar: http://www.godaddy.com... Is that possible?

Hehe... Found it in the My Domains Page and then clicking on my domain. There are 90 subdomains OMG! Any idea how much time it takes to activate my sub domain?

Yeah just found that out.... Thanks for taking the time to reply... I am aware that it usually takes 48 hours for updating the DNS Records but is it the same even for Subdomains?

I think that it would take 48 hours to populate your domain if you *change* it - that is because of the TTL. But if you *add* a domain or a subdomain nobody can have it already cached so they need to ask you DNS for it. In short - if you add a domain/subdomain there shoudl be no delay. You should be able to resolve it immediately.

What do you mean by "not working"?
Can we have the sub.domain name?

My domain is:

Code: Select all

http://www.enigmaportal.com
Subdomain is:

Code: Select all

http://roboveda.enigmaportal.com
I've put this address for the forwarding of the above domain:

Code: Select all

http://www.enigmaportal.com/forum/index.php?showforum=174
And enabled masking to

Code: Select all

http://roboveda.enigmaportal.com
Thanks

The subdomain is not registered at your DNS yet:

Code: Select all

dig roboveda.enigmaportal.com

See - there is no ANSWER line.

Maybe there is some technical delay at your DNS provider while transfering data between the www interface and the real DNS.

Hmm... I need that subdomain by tomorrow at any cost and now it gives me these weird problems... :( Don't know what happened to my host, he isn't replying either...

Weird... I tried adding http://www.google.com as the forwarding link to my subdomain google.enigmaportal.com but that doesn't work either... Still my host problem is it? I'm sorry, I'm not that aware of DNS...
