Setting up a real subdomain

Hello-

I have a domain configured, let's say xyz.com, and I want to make johndoe.xyz.com. I want this to be a full domain, not just a subdomain of xyz.com. In the old days of Plesk, before the subdomain feature, you'd just setup a new domain called "johndoe.xyz.com" and it'd have its own email, hosting, etc. I tried to do that now, but it doesn't work - DNS doesn't appear to be properly setup for it, and the "server cannot be found" when I try to browse to it.

How can I get around this?

Thanks.

I have tried to reproduce it and it works fine for me. There are different A DNS records for domain.tld and new.domain.tld and both domains are resolvable. Check that you have A record for ned domain and make sure that it is resolvable directly on Plesk server at least with

# host new.domain.tld localhost
