: Creating a subdomain of a free subdomain I have a free subdomain and was wondering if I could create a subdomain of that subdomain. e.g foo.bar.example.com

@Chiappetta492

If you have access to the DNS of your domain this should be possible.

You can create a subdomain called foo.bar.example.com in your DNS, but of course it must point somewhere, e.g. 127.0.0.1.

If you do not have DNS access this is most likely not possible. If your web host allows you to create subdomains, most likely you can add subdomain.subdomain.domain. If that's not possible and you do not have access to your DNS either, this isn't possible, unless your host has good support so they can add it to your DNS for you, that isn't hard at all.

Good luck!

Just because a free host gives you a subdomain, they don't necessarily give you the control you need to create further subdomains from it.

When they create a subdomain for you, they add a DNS record to their domain name like:

yoursubdomain IN A 123.45.123.45


They also have the power to further subdivide it for you by adding records like:
yoursubdomain IN A 123.45.123.45
foo.yoursubdomain IN A 123.45.123.45


They would have to provide an interface for you to create these further subdomains. You generally would not have the power to do this without support from your host.
