In DNS terms the process is simple (this is on the RAQ3)

Go to Control Panel

Click on Domain Name server parameters

click on Add and "Address (A) Record"

type the subdomain name you wish eg mysub and the domain name eg
mydomain.com and the ip address that the web site will be on - this will
create mysub.mydomain.com

if you want to also resolve www.mysub.mydomain.com to that site then:

click on Add and "Alias (CNAME) Record"

type www.mysub in Alias Host Name
mydomain.com in nAlias Domain Name
mysub in Target Host Name
mydomain.com in Target Domain Name

this will make www.mysub.mydomain.com point to mysub.mydomain.com

cheers
