"How to set up a sub subdomain"

I’ve been getting quite a few hits from Google to the DNS Guide post
from people searching for how to set up a sub subdomain.

It’s quite simple actually. Say you want to set up a sub sub domain
sub2.sub1.domain.com. All you need to do is create an A record for
sub2.sub1.domain.com and point it to the required IP(the IP of the
server hosting the sub sub domain). If you want
sub2.sub1.domain.com to work(not required in most cases), you
should create another A record for sub2.sub1.domain.com and point
it to the same IP. This can also be done using a CNAME record.

So, if the server that is going to host your sub sub domain has IP
1.2.3.4, your DNS records should be like this :

sub2.sub1.domain.com. A 1.2.3.4 sub2.sub1.domain.com. A 1.2.3.4


If you want to use CNAME records :

sub2.sub1.domain.com. A 1.2.3.4 sub2.sub1.domain.com. CNAME sub2.sub1.domain.com.


There may be a lot of reasons why someone would want to use a sub sub
domain; the most important of them being forming meaningful(or
desired) words/phrases out of a domain name. One of the most popular
example of a site on a sub sub domain is Del.icio.us. It clearly
illustrates the usefulness of a sub sub domain.

You can create a cname with dot notation in it. So you can create a cname which is es.n and point it to the a record and it will take care of what you want. This is done via Godaddy DNS hosting (free usually with all domains)
