I have recently run into the need to setup subdomains on one of my site's with their own SSL certificate. Cpanel only allows one SSL per domain.
Does anyone have experience or a recommendation on how to setup a subdomain with it's own SSL.
My thought is to setup a separate hosting account for the subdomain. i did this in plesk a few times successfully, and in theory it should also work in cpanel. With the separate account, i can install a separate cert and the problem is fixed, but I'm not sure if it will work.
I've set up the affiliate manager from jrox.com for a client of mine. This includes the setup of wildcard DNS so that each affiliate can have username.clientssite.com and have it count their clicks - which works properly.
What isn't working properly is that he also has forums.hissite.com, which is loading the main website page instead of his forums. He is using cpanel to add the subdomain, and it isn't failing, so I'm not sure what's going on with it.

And the bind file for his domain

Everytime I create a new subdomain, it appears.. but after I create another subdomain, the first one dissappear and I only can see the last one created..
Dns zone, httpd.conf, localdomains entries are there.. but when (using X3 o or X) I go to subdomain on the cPanel account, Im not able to see anything... anyway, subdomains are working...
When trying to make a subdomain on my main cpanel domain, through cpanel, it acts like it is making it, and adds the dns entry, but it does not work. All other domains work fine.
I submitted a ticket to buycpanel, they asked for the login information this morning, and have not heard back from them. This has happened every since they installed cpanel.
I am hoping its something simple that one of you knowledgeable people may know how to fix.
Im using Cpanel and I would like to have all subdomains of a domain I host point to the main root directory of the site. How would I do that in cpanel? When I click on subdomains do I just put the wildcard * for the subdomain name?
Also what do I do if I want to point all subdomains to the main directory except for the certain domains I specify? So if I wanted blogs.domain.com to point do a different location but still have all other subdomains point to the main directory.
I just picked up a WiredTree VPS account, but have never really dabbled deep into server-related knowledge. I was wondering what one would do to rid of the "Great Success!
Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server" pages when subdomains are accessed?
Lets say I have abcd.com as the main domain on cpanel. abcd.com has 10 subdomains.
Basically what I want to do is when I do an addon domain or parked domain I want the subdomains to basically point to abcd.com automatically. Let's say the addon/parked
domain is 1234.com For example I have sub.abcd.com as the main subdomain
so when I type in sub.1234.com I want it pointed to sub.abcd.com internally meaning the script/files from there however in the browser show as if it were sub.1234.com
I added the following to my cpanel .htaccess file on my hosting account:
<FilesMatch ".pdf$">header set x-robots-tag: noindex </FilesMatch>
This was to stop Google from crawling and indexing my PDFs, will this work accross all my addon domains and subdomains (which are wordpress) on my hosting account or do I need to take extra measure?
I'm setting up an auto-configuration script to setup accounts in WHM and create subdomains and so far everything is working fine!
But we have a problem - when an account is setup and the subdomain is not working yet when a customer visits it he gets wrong dns information and then when the domain starts working it's not working for him.
I know that flushdns solves this issue under Windows but I don't want to make my newbie customers run complicated commands.
Will a 5 minut delay solve this issue from the moment the account is created to the moment the customer visists the site?
my control panel is PLESK, when our customers create sub domain they cannot access to their sub domains with www, for example the sub domain is sub.domain.com and I cannot access to this sub domain whit this address www.sub.domain.com .
what should I do to work the sub domains with www ?
I have googled high and low and i'm about to explode. This has been an issue for the last 4 days...
I have secure.domain.com
I bought a SSL cert for secure.domain.com
I installed the cert
[url] shows the right content
[url]shows the content for [url] - I've had this working before on site5, but I share a dedicated account now with WHM/cPanel and it's not working.
it's like the subdomain is being ignored. - Tll me if i'm wrong, but each SSL needs its own IP correct? i added an IP for domain.com and WHM seems to have set it for all the subdomains as well.
I purchased a dedicated server several days ago, and realize that this will be a learning curve for me since I'm not experienced in server management.
I have a quick question about subdomains.
My domain names have resolved (or are still resolving). I created two subdomains on a domain, but I can't access them. I'm not sure if there is anything else I should do to get these subdomains to work.
I'm using Plesk8.1
My domains are registered at GoDaddy (and some at RegisterFly)
if I can provide you with any information such as my DNS template, etc...
I know this question has been asked loads of times, but I don't seem to be able to find the answer I'm looking for.
I'm looking to host the forum part of my site on another server. The main part of my site is on a shared hosting account. Which is fine. I'm adding a forum to the site, and was planning on hosting this on my VPS account as a subdomain. As my shared hosting package is only small.
I've edited the DNS with my domain registration provider and added a A record for forum.mydomain.com pointing to the ip of my VPS account. I then created a account on my VPS for the domain/subdomain. However I don't seem to be able to get the subdomain to work
Do I need to ask my shared hosting provider to do anything? or do I need to edit anything on my VPS? The subdomain doesn't appear to be resolving.
I was wondering if it is possible to host subdomains on different VPS's? Here is what I am trying to do
PrimaryDomain.com -> Hosted on VPS0 | - Subdomain1.primaryhost.com -> Hosted on VPS1 | - Subdomain2.primaryhost.com -> Hosted on VPS2
VPS0, VPS1, VPS2 have different IP addresses.
I tried using A records to point subdomains to different VPS but VPS requires a "primary domain" looks like. Do let me know if this is possible. I tried google but not sure what exactly I shoudl be searching for.
I'm planning on buying my first domain in order to host various sites of mine in one place. I like the idea of subdomains to separate them, but I was wondering... Is it possible to access different subdomains using different passwords? I'm planning to let a friend of mine use a subdomain to host a site of hers that's related to mine, and I'd like it if she had the security of a different password. I just want to know if I can even do this, and if so, what hosts offer this option?
For some reasons i cannot get sub domains to work. I have the following and I have DNS entries set for both apps and www.apps but it simply won't resolve the url and it can't be pinged
