[SOLVED] [SOLV'D] Some questions regarding the plans - moneygrows - 11-01-2010
Was referred here from a post at SF.
Bit confused with what i read in the [HOWTO] Request hosting
In the "how to" paragraph it's written there "zamb.net and n1fty.com are the only allowed subdomains" but in all the plans i can see that we are allowed to have minimum 50 domains, subdomains, etc (depending on the plans we chose)
Does this mean i can only have like 50 zamb.net and n1fty.com subdomains or i can create whatever subdomains base on my own domain?
Oh, does this post counts for my sign up post?

The "subdomain" part means the main domain of your cPanel account. The main domain is offered freely, so you have limited choices.
If you own another domain, bought or requested freely elsewhere, you can add it to your hosting account as an addon domain or parked domain, and they don't need to end with zamb.net or n1fty.com -- actually they cannot.

i just want to use my own domain, one i bought, also use my own subdomain. This is possible right?

Yes, it's possible. Just request your hosting account with a random subdomain, add your domain as a parked domain in cPanel, then just add subdomains.

If you are curious, the underlying motivation for this is that we always want users to have at least one domain guaranteed to resolve. This way, we can more easily track things and you can begin developing on your web space instantly.
