I need help understanding how to set up sub domains.

I am on a shared hosting plan (CrystalTech) and I have read their Knowledge base, but I am still confused.

What I would like to do is create a subdomain like new.myDomain.com so anyone that types that URL in their browser gets directed to that location.

What CF code do I need inside my subdomain cfm pages?

Where do I place my subdomain pages?

I would like these subdomain pages indexed by Google, any best practices to consider here when setting this up?
 
CF has nothing to do with sub domains or how they are processed, that is all done by the DNS and Web servers. The new.myDomain.com will need to be set up on the DNS Server wherever your current DNS is hosted, and it will need to point to wherever you have that web site hosted. Then, the web server hosting the site will need to be set up to process the new name to the appropriate site.



Hope This Helps!
