      Sorry if I'm asking a rookie question here, I'm a hobbyist not a pro. I purchased a domain from Dodaddy and it's hosted on Network Solutions. We are now adding a shopping cart and need to create the subdomain shop.mydomain.com and forward the DNS to Volusion.

      I assumed this is done at Godaddy, where I purchased the domain. I called and they told me that Network Solutions needs to do it. I called NS and they told me GD had to do it. I called GD again hoping to get a different answer, but NOPE... guess what??? "everyone knows that it's done by whoever is hosting the site."  UUUUGGGG

      So PLEASE let me know WHO has this responsibility???? Hopefully everyone has a common answer.   🙂

      I still believe it's done at GD.

      Thanks Everyone

        Don't you hate when you get support like that?!

        Anywho, you forward the DNS of your sub domain at GoDaddy.

        To Edit a Subdomain

        1. Log in to your Account Manager.
        2. Next to Domains, click Launch.
        3. From the Tools menu, select DNS Manager. The DNS Dashboard displays.
        4. For the domain name with the subdomain you want to edit, click Edit Zone. The Zone File Editor displays.
        5. In the A (Host) section, click the subdomain you want to edit.
        6. Edit any of the following fields:
          • Host — Enter the subdomain you want to use. Type @ to map the record directly to your domain name, including thewww.
          • Points to — Enter the IP address you want the subdomain to point to.
          • TTL — Select how long the server should cache the information.
        7. Click Save Zone File, and then click OK.

        Hope that helps!
