All about Subdomains

In our Java Bootcanp, creating web applications is part of the course

What is a sub domain in GoDaddy:

In GoDaddy, a subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain name. It is used to organize and navigate to different sections of your website. For example, if your main domain is example.com, a subdomain could be blog.example.com or shop.example.com. Each subdomain can have its own unique content and can be used to create separate web pages or sections within your website.

Creating a subdomain in GoDaddy is typically straightforward. Here’s a general guide on how you can create a subdomain through GoDaddy interface:

  1. Log in to Your Account: Go to the GoDaddy website and log in to your account using your credentials.

  2. Access Your DNS Management: Once logged in, find and click on the "DNS" or "DNS Management" option. This will take you to the domain management area.

  3. Add a Subdomain:

    • Look for an option like "Add Subdomain" or "Subdomains" within the DNS management section.
    • Click on "Add Subdomain" or the equivalent option.

  4. Enter the Subdomain Details:

    • You will be prompted to enter the subdomain name. For example, if you want to create blog.example.com, you would enter blog in the subdomain field.
    • GoDaddy may ask you to specify the root directory for the subdomain. This is where the files for the subdomain will be stored on your hosting server.

  5. Save Your Changes: After entering the details, save your changes. GoDaddy will update the DNS records to include your new subdomain.

  6. Wait for DNS Propagation: It may take some time (usually up to 24 hours) for the changes to propagate across the internet. During this period, your subdomain may not be immediately accessible.

  7. Upload Content (if needed): Once the subdomain is created and propagated, you can upload your website files or set up your content management system (CMS) to start using the subdomain.

If you encounter any specific issues or have detailed questions about your GoDaddy account, their customer support is usually available to provide assistance tailored to your situation.

With GoDaddy,  Divert from a domain name to a different domain's subdomain

 To redirect a domain name to a different domain's subdomain using GoDaddy, you can set up a domain forwarding or domain redirection. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

  1. Log in to Your GoDaddy Account: Go to the GoDaddy website and log in using your credentials.

  2. Access Your Domain Settings: Find and click on the option to manage your domains. This might be labeled as "Domains", "My Products", or similar.

  3. Select the Domain to Forward: Locate the domain name that you want to redirect or forward to a different subdomain.

  4. Set Up Domain Forwarding:

    • Find the domain forwarding settings. In GoDaddy , this is typically found under the domain management options or DNS settings.
    • Look for an option like "Forwarding", "Domain Forwarding", or "Forward Domain".
    • Click on the option to set up forwarding.

  5. Enter the Destination URL: You'll be prompted to enter the destination URL where you want the domain to redirect. Here, enter the full URL of the subdomain you want to redirect to. For example, if you want example.com to redirect to blog.otherdomain.com, enter http://blog.otherdomain.com.

  6. Choose Forwarding Type (if applicable): GoDaddy may give you options for forwarding type, such as "Permanent (301)" or "Temporary (302)" redirect. Choose the appropriate type depending on whether this is a permanent or temporary redirect.

  7. Save Your Changes: After entering the details, save your changes. GoDaddy will update the settings to forward requests from your domain to the specified subdomain.

  8. Check and Test: Once saved, test the redirection by typing your domain name (e.g., example.com) in a browser and ensure that it correctly redirects to the subdomain you specified.

  9. Propagation: It may take some time (up to 24 hours) for the changes to propagate across the internet. During this period, the redirection may not be immediately effective everywhere.

If you encounter any specific issues or have questions while setting up the redirection, GoDaddy customer support is available to assist you further.

Java   Coding Blocks    In Java , the term "coding block" typically refers to a block of code within certain constructs that define the scope and execution context of variables and statements. There are several types of coding blocks in Java, each serving different purposes. Here’s an overview: 1. Method Block A  Java  method block is the section of code within a method. It defines the scope of local variables and contains the statements that make up the method. public class MyClass { public void myMethod () { // Method block starts here int localVariable = 10 ; System.out.println(localVariable); // Method block ends here } } 2. Class Block A  Java  class block is the section of code within a class definition. It contains the class’s fields (variables), methods, and nested classes. public class MyClass { // Class block starts here int instanceVariable; // Field public void myMet...
