Hi folks. Trying to create a subdomain with a desktop app, but it’s saying “This URL is already in use by another app.” no matter what subdomain name I type in. I’ve connected the app to my domain without the .adalo part as i’m a subscriber… if I choose another app that has the .adalo in the url, it works. What am I missing or doing wrong? thank you!

Do I have to do something on my hosting side maybe? I have Godaddy. ---

Hi @Andyk, Can you share some screenshots when you type the subdomain? Best regards, Victor. ---

Hi @Andyk, In the “Publish” section on the left side of the screen, you have the list of the domains you’ve created; and there you attache them to the existing apps. So probably all the domains you’ve previously created are in use 🙂 I would advice first to add the new domain/subdomain (top right, profile → Settings → Domains → Add custom domain). And then you select this new domain to be attached to the webapp you have. Best, Victor ---

so, the www.\_\_\_offers.com is in use as an app. I just want to add subdomains to it now as a desktop app since the functionality to add subdomains to apps is not available… like "www.\_\_offers.com/67chevy. Am i not allowed to do that here? Thanks! ---

Hi @Andyk , I’m not sure what you would like to achieve here. “www.\_\_offers.com/67chevy” is not a subdomain, it is the URL address (domain + page). You can’t set up the URL like that for an **app**. What you could do, is to create another subdomain (for example, mynewapp.\_\_offers.com), set it CNAME record for it at your hosting provider, and then connect this subdomain to your new app. Best regards, Victor. ---

ahhh makes sense. Thank you for this explanation. Can I setup a page then within the desktop version? ---
