    Hi,
    If you could be more explicit, you'll get some help.
    Subdomains and linking can be all set up from your Cpanel.
    Regards

    Is there a good reason for that? I am no SEO expert, but I sure don't see subdomains ranking in the search engines. Think that was killed many years when people were exploiting it.

    Why not just pages? You should have a better chance of ranking, plus "pages" will be closer to the root of the domain which is always suppose to be better.

    Just thinking out loud

    I don't really see why you would want to do this... if all you want is a home page with links to your sub domains, just use HTML?

    Create an index.html with the following code, replacing your links and adding whatever you want, then plop it into your root directory:

    HTML Code:
    <!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Sports</title>
</head>

<body>
 <a href="http://hockey.sport.cawa">Hockey</a>
 <!-- copy/paste the above link and change what you need to add more links -->
</body>

</html>
    Obviously if you want to make it look good you will have to link a stylesheet and add your own css.

    This depends on your hosting. On cpanel you can create subdomains and point them into subfolders of your main domain, with a VPS you can add a wildcard through virtualhosts if running apache
