Hi Jeremy,

When you register your domain name, the company that you buy
the domain name from, specifies name server(s) which serve your domain.
For perfectaweb.net this is dns1.interland.net dns2.interland.net
[you can check the details using the program whois or goto www.allwhois.com
for an online equivalent]

Web browsers, smtp servers etc consult these name servers
for the "sub domains (2nd level domains, to use your terminology)"
- e.g. the www in www.perfectaweb.net

Talk to the poeple your bought your domain name from(interland.net).
They should only charge you a few pounds for setting up a new sub domain,
since it only takes a few minutes to do.
If you run your own name servers, its trivial to setup other sub domains.

Subject: FN-FORUM Internic question


My domain is perfectaweb.net - I know a little cheesy. If I want a web address of members.perfectaweb.net, how to I go about doing that. Can I do this myself through internic or do I need an ISP to do it. I keep seeing these 2nd level URLs and have always wondered how to get them. They do always seem to be large companies though.

Thanks

Jeremy Bassett
