I am trying to create a subdomain using DirectAdmin. The subdomain will be finance.nickputman.com
I appear to have successfully created the subdomain in that there are A records for finance and http://www.finance showing under ‘DNS management’, and when I carry out an online DNS propagation check for the A records, all reports come back as successful.
And yet when I try to visit http://finance.nickputman.com I get a server not found error. http://nickputman.com/finance works OK.
Is there another step I need to take to get this working?
It takes some time before new/changed dns records are fetched by your local dns cache (depending on the TTL values of the old records). Manually clear the dns cache to force an update.
