I can create www.xxx.za.net but not irc.xxx.za.net or mail.xxx.za.net

I have a domain name with www.za.net. My domain is www.somthing.net and i want to create a mail.something.za.net and irc.something.za.net

But how?

When i submit a new form is www.za.net then it says that the domain name is invalid.:erm:

what you are looking for is subdomains. you dont register them, they're created on a dns level. speak to your service provider (whoever is authorative) for www.something.net and ask them to create your desired subdomain.

So www.za.net does not handle sub domains?

Im usinf everydns.com for my name servers and i host my own webserver at the office

You will need to create those on your nameserver (s) side. It will be supported.

what do you want to create a subdomain called irc.xxx.za or a "A" record / host record called irc.xxx.za.net.Creating an "A" record is simple.Your DNS provider will do it for you.If you with a free dns provider like everydns.net then you can log into your zone file and make the changes yourself.

Thanx i will try that and then test it. I want to use the irc. and mail. for my wug. Want external users to access it aswell.

Thanx it works, i just added mail.domain.za.net to everydns.net and it works.
