subdomain is redirection?
curious, why is it the subdomains I create are just 'redirections' instead of an actual subdomain?
thanks for the enlightenment ^^ |

that's generally what subdomains are. they point to another folder above your root

pare, just add your subdomain name then click add. thats it! Setup Redirection is not neccesary if you just want actual subdomain

Laibcoms.com --> boards (folder which is the subdomain boards.Laibcoms.com) --> animeillusions (folder which is the subdomain animeillusions.Laibcoms.com) shouldn't it be like this? animeillusions.Laibcoms.com boards.Laibcoms.com Laibcoms.com almost had a problem if I haven't noticed it, coz there are certain cases wherein I have a subdomain "example" which will result to example.domain.com and a folder "example" under domain.com thus example.domain.com domain.com --> example (folder) in surpass' setting it's: domain.com --> example (folder) --> example (subdomain folder) which is a serious conflict luckily I don't have that setup currently, but I already have plans for it... that's where I'm curious, why the subdomain folder is under the root domain instead of above the root domain. |

When you type "something.blah.com" it will remain at "something.blah.com" in both the address and status bar. However, you could type "blah.com/something" and view the same site. Or, if you have a redirection setup, you have "something.blah.com" redirect you to "blahblah.com"

I have noticed this also. It also means google and other spiders find my subdomain as a folder under my my domain instead of as a subdomain. I put a robots.txt in my root to block scanning of the folder which is really a subdomain but I don't think the robots scan the subdomain at all because of this.

Spiders follow the links in your web pages, that is all. if you've keyed in a link using the subdomain, sure it will be followed.
