How do I alias a sub domain to my master domain?
Follow the following steps:
  1. Log into the site manager.
  2. Click the Domain Settings tab.
  3. Click the DNS Records tab.
  4. Click New Record.
  5. Select Alias
  6. Enter the alias name in the sub domain field.
You would use this solution if you did not want the sub domain to operate as its own site.

Example:
If your domain is fred.com and the sub domain is support.fred.com and you followed the setup above putting either name in the browser would bring up the same default webpages.
