SLD Question

[cipcip]

Ok, so in my country ( Romania ) are lot of firms that sell secondary level domains...

Some examples: firm.ro, store.ro, ro.im, co.ro, com.ro and many others!

My question is: What do I have to do to make a SLD?

I already have a domain name which i am willing to use...

The domain name is http://www.xvid.ro

Any help please ?

Thanks in advance!

It is not clear what you are asking about, can you rephrase you question, then if it is clear you will get answers, this is a very friendly and supportive forum indeed.

Hi,

you dont need anything special.
Look for an hosting ... maybe important that they offer you unlimited SUBDOMAINS.
Then you can create such 'SLD' ... subdomains through (mostly used) Cpanel.

If you control your own nameservers (DNS servers), then the easiest way to do it is provide an "A" record pointing to the third level domain:

thirdlevel.example.com. IN A 000.000.000.000

You will need to replace "000" with the IP of the host for your third level.

Most people do not run their own DNS servers, and instead use the servers of their web host. Based on your question, I am guessing that this is your case.

At the registrar level, the domain owner points the DNS for the second level domain, like example.com, to the name server provided by their web host. The next step is talk to your web host (or whoever is providing your DNS services), and ask them to provide a third level "A" record pointing to wherever you wish to host the third level "thirdlevel.example.com". Some hosting companies provide this service through a user interface that allows you to create additional A records, and some do not.

So the short answer is probably: "talk to whoever is hosting your second level domain, like "example.com", and ask them to provide additional "A" records. If they do not allow this, then you will need to find a new host for your domains, or at least find a new DNS service that does allow this. It is possible to purchase DNS service without web service. This allows you to leave your second level domain where it is, and just add new higher level domains.

The domain is hosted with Godaddy ...

I want to offer such subdomains to people example.xvid.ro ... but I want them to have the abbility to host them wherever they want ... I just want to offer the subdomain, not the hosting!
