Hey the subdomain thing is really different from what I'm use to. I don't exactly know where to start. Also can you explain to me how to give a certain subdomain a certain bandwidth? Another thing is I don't get this drop down menu on the sub domain:
-Enable FastCGI application support for this vhost
-Use a custom admin email address
-Use custom MX entries (advanced users only; email accounts here stop working)
Explanations and examples would work perfectly.
Thanks!

Re: How to make a sub domain and give it a certain bandwidth
Most of the time, customers use subdomains to create separate portions of their websites, or to point to their game/voice servers. For instance, if their domain is domain.com, it might be convenient to make a forums.domain.com subdomain to hold the forums, and a css.domain.com subdomain to point to their CS:S server. To do this, one would:
1. Type "forums" into a blank subdomain field and select "Folder" as the type.
2. Enter "forums" into "Where it points", to make that subdomain point to their "forums" folder. Submit the changes.
3. Create a new database for their forum from the "Databases" page, by entering a "forum" suffix into the "Add a new database:" field.
4. Either use SFTP to upload a forum installation to the "forums" folder, or use an Autoinstaller to create one, using the database that was just created.
5. Back on the "Domains" page, enter "css" into a blank subdomain field and select "CNAME" as the type.
6. Enter the CS:S server's DNS address into the "Where it points" field -- for instance, "theirclan.nuclearfallout.net", and submit the change
Everything on the page has a pop-up help, if you hold your mouse cursor over it. For the FastCGI, admin email, and custom MX servers, these help entries are comprehensive, so I recommend starting there
. You will only use those options if you are told to by a particular application that you are using.
