This tutorial is addressed only to  who runs his own web server and I assume you have already done all the steps to get your site up and running.  Having one ore more sub-domains can be very useful for many reasons,like keeping separate sections of your website, for example,if you have  website called mysite.com and a forum running together, you can create a sub-domain like forum.mysite.com.

While, they will give your website a professional look, may also improve your search engine ranking because they are effectively  different domains and search engines  treat them as  separate web sites.

1. To set up a sub-domain,visit zoneedit.com ,login to your account and click manage next to your site name.
2. On the page below click IP Addresses

3.  In the next window(fig 2),type the name of the sub-domain in the name box and the IP Address ( It will be the same as the parent website)in the Numeric IP.Now click Add New IP Adress

4.  On the new window ,check all the details are correct and click YES.
   Now when somebody types your sub-domain name in a web browser,zoneedit will resolve the request into the IP Address and send it to your web server which is listening on that IP.The web server needs to be configured appropriately to handle the request for the sub-domain and we'll see how in Configuring the web server for sub-domains
   .
   
   
   
5. You can check if zoneedit is resolving your sub-domain name into an IP Address with nslookup command from the command prompt. It should do it nearly immediately after you added the sub-domain.(FIG 4)
