Subdomains

What are subdomains?

Subdomains allow users to set a domain for their server to connect through. In traditional Pterodactyl, users have to conenct through a IP-address to their server, for example 123.456.78:26623 - Subdomains allow your users to connect to their server with a simple domain, for example woodmc.panel.net You can add as many domains as you wish, the user can select their preffered one through a dropdown menu. You can also configure subdomains per plan in the plan admin settings.
