subdomain questions

[usbnuts]

Hi, if I register for a sub-domain (webcams.usbworkshop.com), can I point this sub-domain to another hosting company or to another account on FQ?

Can this domain still access my main site's database?

Thanks.

Hello:

"can I point this sub-domain to another hosting company"

No.

"or to another account on FQ"

It would become part of whatever full domain hosting package you are associating it with.

"Can this domain still access my main site's database?"

It would depend on whether you need:

A. DS-IRO (Domain Stack-IRO, or Subdomain)
B. DS-IRM (Domain Stack-IRM, or Subdomain)

As defined here: http://www.FutureQuest.net/ir.php

The answer would be:

A. Yes, it is only an IRO
B. No, it is an IRM

Thanks,
Paul

For clarity:

Regarding the answers to A and B above:
Providing, that is.. you were referring to your main site's mySQL database.
