How to Add Custom Subdomains Through DNS Management

If you want to create custom subdomains (for example: shop.mathtestex2.eu or mail.mathtestex2.eu), you can do this easily by adding A or CNAME records through your

DNS Management interface.


This process does not require web hosting — only access to your domain’s DNS settings.



Step 1: Access the DNS Management Interface


  1. Log in to your EX2 Client Area.
  2. Go to My Domains and select the domain you want to manage (in this case:

mathtestex2.eu).

  1. Click on the three dots (⋮) next to the domain and select Manage Domain.



  1. On the Domain Overview page, click DNS Management to open the DNS Zone

Editor.




Step 2: Add a Custom Subdomain


  1. In the DNS Zone Editor, click Add a Line to create a new record.
  2. Choose the Record Type:

○ A Record: Used to point a subdomain to a specific IP address (for example,

to host a website or mail server).

○ CNAME Record: Used to point a subdomain to another domain name (for

example, redirecting shop.mathtestex2.eu to another service).



Step 3: Configure the Subdomain


For an A Record (IP Address)

● Name: Enter the subdomain name (e.g., shop for shop.mathtestex2.eu)

● Type: A

● Value: Enter the IP address that you want this subdomain to point to (e.g.,192.168.1.1)

● TTL: Set this to the default value (usually 3600 seconds)

Example:

Name: shop

Type: A

Value: 192.168.1.1

TTL: 3600


For a CNAME Record (Alias to Another Domain)

● Name: Enter the subdomain name (e.g., mail for mail.mathtestex2.eu)

● Type: CNAME

● Value: Enter the target domain you want to point to (e.g., mail.google.com for Google

Workspace email)

● TTL: Set this to the default value (usually 3600 seconds)

Example:

Name: mail

Type: CNAME

Value: mail.google.com

TTL: 3600



Step 4: Save Your Changes


  1. After entering the details, click Save or Add Record to apply the new subdomain.
  2. DNS changes may take up to 24 hours to propagate, but they usually take effect

much sooner.



Step 5: Test the Subdomain


After the DNS changes have propagated:

● Test the new subdomain by entering it in your browser (e.g., shop.mathtestex2.eu or mail.mathtestex2.eu).

● You can also use online tools to verify propagation:

○ MXToolbox: https://mxtoolbox.com/

○ WhatsMyDNS: https://www.whatsmydns.net/

These tools confirm whether your subdomain points to the correct destination.


By following these steps, you can easily create custom subdomains for mathtestex2.eu through DNS Management. Whether it’s for a shop, an email service, or another project, it’s

all managed through DNS records, without needing separate web hosting.
