Re: [cobalt-users] Subdomains

["Andy Ross" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When setting up the VS for the sub-domain the host should be the sub-domain
not www, so to follow your example :-

Host subdomain
Domain domain.com

To access this site in the browser you would enter :-

http://subdomain.domain.com (note the lack of www)

Regards,

Andy.
