Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Subdomain

To create a subdomain for a domain hosted on GoDaddy or different account but managed under a different account without transferring the domain, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Subdomain

1. Understand Your Setup

  • Domain Registrar: The domain is managed in a different account (e.g., Godaddy, or another registrar).
  • Hosting Provider: Your hosting is in your GoDaddy account.
  • Objective: Create a subdomain (e.g., sub.example.com) and point it to your hosting server.

2. Access the DNS Management of the Domain

  • Login to the account where the domain is managed.
  • Navigate to the DNS Management or DNS Zone Editor of the domain.

3. Add an 'A' or 'CNAME' Record for the Subdomain

  • 'A' Record Method:
    1. Add a new 'A' record in the DNS settings.
    2. Set the subdomain (e.g., sub) in the Name/Host field.
    3. Enter the IP Address of your GoDaddy hosting server in the Value field.
    4. Save the record.
  • 'CNAME' Method:
    1. Add a CNAME record in the DNS settings.
    2. Set the subdomain (e.g., sub) in the Name/Host field.
    3. Point it to the main domain (e.g., www.example.com) or another target domain.
    4. Save the record.

4. Configure the Subdomain in GoDaddy Hosting

  • Log in to your GoDaddy Hosting Account.
  • Navigate to the cPanel or Hosting Dashboard.
  • Look for the Subdomains section.
  • Add the subdomain (e.g., sub.example.com):
    1. Specify the subdomain name (sub).
    2. Choose the main domain from the dropdown (e.g., example.com).
    3. Assign the document root (e.g., /public_html/sub or /sub).
    4. Save the configuration.

5. Verify the Subdomain

  • It may take a few minutes to propagate the DNS changes.

6. Test the Subdomain

  • Open your browser and type the subdomain URL (e.g., sub.example.com).
  • Ensure it points to the desired location in your hosting.

If you follow these steps carefully, you should be able to create a subdomain without transferring the domain.

Constraints in MySQL

Constraints in MySQL are rules enforced on data in a database to ensure its accuracy, integrity, and consistency. They are applied at the table column or table level to restrict the type of data that can be stored. Constraints help prevent invalid data entry and maintain relational database integrity. Types of Constraints in MySQL 1. NOT NULL Constraint Ensures that a column cannot have a NULL value. Used to ensure that important fields always contain data. Syntax: CREATE TABLE students ( id INT NOT NULL, name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL ); Example: If you try to insert a record with a NULL value in the name column, it will result in an error: INSERT INTO students (id, name) VALUES (1, NULL); -- This will throw an error 2. UNIQUE Constraint Ensures that all the values in a column are distinct (no duplicates allowed). Multiple UNIQUE constraints can be applied to a table. Syntax: CREATE TABLE employees ( emp_id INT UNIQUE, email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE ); E...
