Hi,
I'm migrating from another hosting company to dh.
I'd like to know how I can set up a testing sub domain name to be able to make all the test before fully migrate to dh?
regards,
Fred

Hi Fred, welcome to DreamHost! smile

You can add a free test subdomain using your panel:

Domains > Manage Domains > Add New Domain / Sub Domain


In the Domain to Host field, input:

yourdomainname.dreamhosters.com

And click the "Fully Host this Domain Now!" button.

Just open a hosting account and add a free dreamhosters.com sub-domain, which will function just like any other domain.

There's a 97-day money back period, so you get plenty of time to try it out and get a refund if you're not happy.

I'd congratulate you on typing faster than me... but it's not really that much of an accomplishment. I think I'm up to at least 40 words per hour. tongue
