How to Add a Sub-domain to a Custom Domain

If you own a custom domain such as www.mydomain.com, and you want to host a separate blog or website under a sub-domain (for example, blog2.mydomain.com), you need to create a new CNAME record with your domain host such as Godaddy or enom.

Follow the steps mentioned below to create a new CNAME record to a custom domain registered with enom.
  1. Login into your enom account and go to the domain setting page. If you have registered your custom domain through Google, you can follow these steps.

  2. You should see a screen similar to the following:


  3. Click on the 'Edit' button under the 'Host Records' section.

  4. Click 'Add New'.

  5. Add the sub-domain name, for example, 'blog2' under the 'Host Name' field.

  6. Add ghs.google.com. under 'Address' field.

  7. Select CNAME (Alias) under 'Record Type' field.

  8. Click 'Save'.

That's all. Your new CNAME record has been created and so is your new sub-domain.
