Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm running Apache on Ubuntu and I'm
trying to set up a subdomain on my website. I've set up many
subdomains in the past and I'm sure that I'm configuring Apache
correctly but, with this new hosting company I'm using, I can't
set up any subdomains on my domain.  Could it be that the host
doesn't have their DNS servers configured to allow wildcard
subdomains? When I enter asdf.mydomain.com on my MediaTemple
site, I just get the front page for mydomain.com, but when I
enter asdf.myotherdomain.com, I get server not found.  That's
the only thing I can think of. I want to make sure I have my
ducks in a row before I go ask them to look into the problem for
me, so does it sound like that's probably the issue or could it
be something else?  share|improve this question add comment  1
