In Scalev, you can add a custom subdomain and main custom domain at the same time. For example:
  • My main domain: elkareem.store
  • I want to use a subdomain of elkareem.store: lapak.elkareem.store
That’s possible. Before getting into the steps, note that the verification process takes between 5 minutes and 2×24 hours for your subdomain to become active. Here are the steps to add a subdomain to Scalev.
