How do I add a subdomain to my hosting account?

Login to http://dashboard.brownrice.com with an email address that we have on file.
Click -> Site Hosting & Email -> yourwebaddress.com Manage (green button) -> Add Subdomain
Follow instructions.

Done!

What happens next? If your hosting account is called example.com and you created a subdomain called stage then our servers will do these things:

Create an FTP directory called docs.stage where you'd upload your files to.
Modify the web servers config so that you can access this subdomain at http://stage.example.com
Add the correct DNS entries for this all to work (if Brownrice is the DNS server for example.com)

If you need a new FTP account, or MySQL database, just click the FTP Accounts and Databases button and follow those instructions.
