Re: [cobalt-users] Sub Domain WWW Question

["Mark Baker - Cobalt Lists" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You need to put:

host name as: www2
domain name as: domain.com.

Then uncheck the accept web/email for that domain and it will work fine.

In the DNS Just add a single A record:

Host: www2
Domain: domain.com
IP: IP Address

Then add an mx record if you want mail e.t.c

Hope that helps.

Regards,
