Hello,

Simple Steps to Create Subdomain and Configure Email Server:

1. Log in to Domain Registrar:

  • Go to your domain registrar's website (where you bought xyz.com).
  • Login to your account control panel.

2. Create Subdomain (test.xyz.com):

  • Locate the section for managing domains or DNS records.
  • Find the option to add a new record or subdomain.
  • Enter "test" as the subdomain name.

Choose the record type:

  • CNAME: If your email provider instructs you to use a CNAME record.
  • MX: If your email provider gives specific MX record values.

3. Choose Email Provider:

Decide on a separate email hosting service (e.g., Google Workspace) or use your existing web hosting's email service.

4. Follow Email Provider Instructions:

  • Sign up for your chosen email provider service.
  • Look for their instructions on adding a new domain (test.xyz.com).
  • They'll likely provide specific CNAME or MX record values.

5. Update DNS Records (use values from Step 4):

  • Go back to your domain registrar's control panel.
  • Edit the subdomain (test.xyz.com) you created in Step 2.
  • Enter the CNAME or MX record values provided by your email provider.

6. Wait for Propagation (up to 24 hours):

  • It can take some time (usually less than 24 hours) for the changes to take effect globally.

  • The MX records are the key for email. The MX record in each subdomain tells servers where to send mail for that (sub)-domain.
