What can I choose for a Subdomain?

You may wish to add one or more subdomains to your hosting account, depending on your account level then you can add these in your hosting control panel.

you may use almost anything as a subdomain, here are some examples,

accounts.yourdomain.com
support.yourdomain.com
sales.yourdomain.com

Please note that subdomains will not use the www prefix.

You host my website, does this mean my domain is registered via UK-Cheapest?

It is quite possible that you bought your domain name from another agent and then changed your domain nameservers to point your domain name to your hosting webspace with UK-Cheapest. In this case the domain name renewals will still be billed by the company that you registered your domain name with initially, and they will retain control of your domain.

If you transferred your domain name to us, then we will be able to update your domain directly, and will invoice renewals directly to you.

I have created a Subdomain but it is not working?

When a Subdomain is created the DNS that will make the subdomain work need to be recognised globally. This is called DNS propagation.

Please allow upto 72 hours for this to take place.
