[help]Domain registration

[cpakingno1]

I found one guy using domain like

www.xxxxxxxxx.com-123.info

here he is using .info domain. I tried a lot to register and show error like "Invalid domain extension."

How to register these kind of domain? any help?

The example you give is a subdomain. dot info is the TLD (top level domain). You register the name - in your example:

xxxxxxxxx.com-123.info

Then (depending on your hosting) you can create subdomains, which are like this:

subdomain1.xxxxxxxxx.com-123.info
subdomain2.xxxxxxxxx.com-123.info

and so on. You can't "register" a subdomain - you register the domain, then create subdomains on it. I *think* that's why you're getting the error message.

Does that make sense? I can explain further if not.

That clearly explains it. He bought the -123.info first and then added the xxx.com subdomain. Pretty OOB thinking he has. I will go buy some of these too.

I think he bought "com-123.info" and then added XXXXX subdomain

Thanks for the info, after posting this thread i do some research and found the way to do this.

yeah you were true, he did exactly what you said.
