>>how to set up a subdomain that I can forward to another URL.
My current domain is http://www.online.org. I want to set up bible.online.org.<<

In order to create a subdomain for your domain please follow the instructions below:

- please log in to your Namecheap account;
- click on "Manage Domains" at the top menu;
- click on the domain name you need to create the subdomain for;
- choose "All Host Records" link at the left side menu.

Further actions need to be taken under "Subdomains Settings" section of the "Modify Domain" page:

- please enter 'bible' (without quotes) in to the "Host Name" tab;
- in the "IP Address/URL" tab please enter the URL or the IP address the subdomain should be forwarded to;
- in the "Record Type" drop down menu please select:
* A(Address) - if you entered an IP address for the "IP Address/URL" tab
* URL Redirect/URL Frame if you are redirecting the subdomain to an URL

- please do not forget to "Save Changes".

Done. The subdomain is created. It may take up to 30 minutes for it to start working.

It is now possible to create up to 100 subdomains for a domain name.
