What is a Subdomain?
It is very common to search a website under their www-address. This version is basically a subdomain of the main domain (Root-domain).
- "www.example.com" e.g. is the www-subdomain of the domain "example.com"
- "mail.example.com" is also a subdomain
By using our Nameserver you can create and configure as many subdomains as you wish.

- To save a new created subdomain, at least one Source record has to be configured.
- Due to technical reasons in the DNS-Zone of a domain the zone entry has to be determined.
