Add a subdomain

by

Add a subdomain record to your DNS zone file when your domain is using SOLVEFORCE nameservers. Subdomains use a domain prefix, such as blog.solveforce.com, as an A record to point to an IP address. To add a subdomain that points to a domain name, you’ll need to add a CNAME record.

  1. Sign in to your SOLVEFORCE Domain Portfolio. (Need help logging in? Find your username or password.)
  2. Select image-30 Domain Edit Options next to your domain and then select Edit DNS. You may need to scroll down to see the Edit DNS option.
  3. Select Add to add a new record.
  4. Select A from the Type menu options.
  5. Enter the details for your new subdomain A record:
    • NameThe hostname or prefix for the subdomain. For example, enter blog to create a subdomain for blog.solveforce.com.
    • ValueThe IP address for your subdomain. This will usually be the IP address of your hosting account.
    • TTLHow long the server should cache information? The default setting is 1 hour.
  6. Select Add Record to save your new subdomain A record.

Most DNS updates take effect within an hour, but could take up to 48 hours to update globally.

  • You can edit an existing record to change any details.
  • Or you can delete a record if it’s no longer needed.
