can vm handle subdomains of subdomains?

for some reason, i can’t get it to work.

for example, www.widgets.com – main domain
site1.widgets.com – subdomain
test.site1.widgets.com – subdomain of subdomain.

I tried everything, but test.site1.widgets.com will just not work for me, i used the vm forms, etc… but i just keep getting "server not found"…

Thanks in advance,

Alex

You don’t want to do that. A sub-domain account type is just an ownership concept, and has nothing to do with the domain name. I recommend against using sub-domain accounts at all…use a sub-server if you want a virtual server to be owned by an existing account, or a regular virtual server if you want a new account. Any of them can be named anything you want (sub.sub.sub.sub.domain.com can be a virtual server, a sub-server, or a sub-domain–it doesn’t matter, it’s just a name).

See these two docs for more on the terminology:
