I have a website and I would like to add a sub-domain to it. I have seen notes that say I can, but nothing on how to do it.
So how do you do this?

Example:
www.techrepublic.com (have)
www.excellence.techrepublic.com (would like to do)

Thankyou
Fred Davies

A subdomain is a DNS issue. It needs to be resolved at that level.

Here is how one would create a domain, and then a subdomain.

DNS - this service is installed as a Network service. This will allow IP addresses to be resolve to the corresponding host name. First, create the top domain structure in DNS Manager by choosing DNS and adding the server. You will enter the IP address of the DNS server here. Next, select the server and choose New Zone from the DNS menu, then choose primary. Enter the zone name and click finish. Create the subdomain by choosing New Zone and following the same steps as before. You can now begin creating the Alias (A) files for the network clients.

To read the full context of the above excerpt, go here. It's down towards the bottom by the IIS stuff.

Oh, this is assuming you are the admin to the machine that hosts the page. If not, contact your admin.
