I have a sub-domain blah.blah.blah through DynDNS.com, but not www.blah.blah. Well I could set the *.blah.blah.blah wild card, but then I'd have www.my.domain.name (with 3 periods...), is it possible I can host the domain without using the www. in front? Or do I use the domain.com (which isn't mine) and in my configuration here on trap17, add the subdomain as a virtual host? I'm confused.

I click on
Create a Hosting Account and I get a page to enter my domain details and a username & password to use.

Well when I applied for hosting priviledges, does the username I chose have any significance here? In my case I put 'q3master' in the application.



I'd like my site to be http://gods-kicks-*bottom*.net/ not with the www, is it possible to enter just kicks-*bottom*.net and modify a setting somewhere in the hosting to add the gods subdomain?

DynDNS also asks for a single IP to point the domain to. Would that be the IP address of a nameserver?

I don't necessarily have to use DynDNS, I could just use a trap17 subdomain, but the domains available on DynDNS are more appealing (no offense).

I've been accepted to be hosted (thanks), and I'm just newb to the system.

Any help is appreciated

I believe that the WWW is not required for domain access.
I usually drop the WWW from my domains.

The WWW basically acts as a subdomain, and is an alias for the public_html folder.

COOL, I got it working. I'm so excited to have 24/7 hosting somewhere and a place to chat about anything. Thanks
