Here’s a step-by-step guide for setting up a subdomain on phoenix72.com in IONOS:

1. Log in

• Go to IONOS login and sign into your IONOS Control Panel.

2. Open Your Domain Settings

• In the dashboard, click Domains & SSL.
• Locate phoenix72.com in your list of domains.
• Click the gear ⚙️ or the Manage Domain option.

3. Add a Subdomain

• Click Subdomain (sometimes under “Add Subdomain”).
• Enter the subdomain you want.
  Example:
  • blog.phoenix72.com
  • shop.phoenix72.com
  • members.phoenix72.com

4. Point the Subdomain

You’ll be asked where the subdomain should point:

• To a folder on your hosting space
  
  • If you’ve uploaded files via the File Manager or FTP, choose the folder.
  • Example: /blog folder → blog.phoenix72.com.
• To a different destination (A/AAAA record or external site)
  
  • Enter the IP address (for another server) or CNAME (for another host, like WordPress.com, Shopify, etc.).

5. Upload Content (if hosting yourself)

• Use the IONOS File Manager (in Hosting > Webspace Explorer) or an FTP client.
• Upload your HTML/PHP files or CMS installation into the subdomain’s target folder.

6. Test

• It may take a few minutes (sometimes up to 24 hours) for DNS changes to propagate.
• Visit your subdomain in the browser to confirm.

✅ Quick Example:
If you want a WordPress blog at blog.phoenix72.com:

1. Create subdomain blog.phoenix72.com.
2. Point it to a folder /blog.
3. Use the IONOS 1-Click Installer to install WordPress into that folder.

Here’s a mini-tutorial (with example screenshots) to walk you through setting up a subdomain for phoenix72.com in IONOS. The UI might sometimes differ slightly depending on your plan or IONOS version, but the general steps should match up.

🧰 Prerequisites & tips

• You need to have control of the domain phoenix72.com in your IONOS account.
• If your hosting (web space) is on IONOS, ensure you have webspace/folder available to attach the subdomain.
• DNS propagation may take some time (minutes to a few hours, occasionally up to 24 hours).
• Keep ready any IP address or target host if you’re pointing the subdomain externally (via A record or CNAME).

Step-by-step: Create the subdomain

1. Log in to IONOS
   Go to the IONOS dashboard and log in with your credentials.
2. Navigate to “Domains & SSL”
   In your dashboard, find the section (or menu item) labeled Domains & SSL (sometimes just “Domains”).
3. Select your domain
   Find phoenix72.com in your list of domains.
   Click its gear icon or Manage option (or similar) to open domain settings.
4. Go to the “Subdomains” tab
   Within the domain’s settings, there should be a tab or link for Subdomains or Create Subdomain.
   (In one screenshot above you see “Subdomain erstellen” / “Create Subdomain.”)
5. Create a new subdomain
   
   • Enter the name of your subdomain (for example, blog, shop, members, etc.).
   • Confirm by clicking Save or Create.
   • Optionally, you may check “Create another subdomain” if doing multiple.
6. (Screenshot examples: top left & top right in the carousel)
7. Assign its destination / target
   After creating, you’ll need to set where that subdomain points:
   • Internal folder / webspace: If hosting on IONOS, connect the subdomain to a directory (e.g. /blog folder).
   • External target: If pointing to another server or host, you may set an A record (IP address) or CNAME (alias to a hostname).
   • In IONOS, this is sometimes done by clicking “Adjust Destination” or “Use domain / Connect to webspace”.
8. (If needed) Add DNS record manually
   If IONOS doesn’t auto-add it, go to the DNS settings for phoenix72.com:
   • Click Add Record
     
   • Choose Type A (for IP) or CNAME (for hostname alias)
   • In Host name, specify your subdomain (e.g. blog)
   • In Points to, enter the target (IP or hostname)
   • Save it
     (One screenshot shows “Add a DNS record” with Host Name, Points to, TTL)
9. Wait and test
   After saving, wait for DNS propagation.
   Try visiting blog.phoenix72.com (or whatever subdomain you made).
   If correctly configured, it should show the content from the target location.
