Why doesn't my subdomain load when I include a 'www' in front it?
When you create a subdomain you can only access it at http://sub.domain.com. You can not access it at http://www.sub.domain.com.
I just created a subdomains, however it doesn't show up immediately at http://subdomain.mydomain.com. What can I do?
Usually it takes 2-12 hours for subdomains to activate. If it is not active after 12 hours, please send us a support ticket. We will manually add a Record entry to your DNS zone, and it will resolve the problem in 30 minutes to 4 hours.
