iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 What's the difference between setting up a domain on a subdomain and to apply without a subdomain, with only a domain? Can you explain it? I don't know very much of domains and how it works.I didn't know this either, but now I know why one is better than the other.If you apply domain-only, you can only access your site from your domain. If you apply for a subdomain, you get your subdomain.freenukehosting.com, plus you can addon a domain. The entire addon domain will be in a folder on your subdomain, but appear to be on the domain. So if you ever for some reason have to switch domains, or lose it for a while, you can still get to your files from subdomain.freenukehosting.com/yourfolder.So I signed up for subdomain after I found that out.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 And are there really no dissadvantages of using an addon domain? Is it maybe slower? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 If you applied for Domain is better, because it faster to access your site. It only go through the DNS sever of FHN.If you applied for SubDomain and do an Addon domain.. then your domain will goes through FHN.com as a gateway 1st. Plus too many subdomain for FHN.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 If I buy a domain, can I change my settings here then? Or is it better too apply a second time and close my Bondings account? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 send an email to cops@freenukehosting.com to point your account to your new domain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 And do I lose my subdomain then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 You need a subdomain fora site, but if you want your sub-domain+your .com domain or whatever it is then just forward it, if you can, thats if you want both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
