But the DNS entries for "sitename.org" are maintained somewhere, by somebody, just ask them to add the subdomain.

Ah, yes, I was still fundamentally misunderstanding what I was supposed to be doing.

So, I went to "google.domains.com" and logged in to tinker with my domain settings, and now I've added a "Registered host", just by adding the "beta." to the front of my sitename - same address.

But I'm guessing that's not enough, because I'm still getting a "not found" error.

I am afraid you cannot do that then. If you have no DNS entry for beta.sitename.org no browser no nothing knows how to resolve this... it's a subdomain... did not read everything but you can edit apache conf and cannot edit DNS entries??

Well, I can on the box (/etc/hosts), but not on the network, at least not without buying another domain name? But changing it on the box's /etc/hosts file won't help when I'm browsing in from Topeka or Kalamazoo.

Unless I'm still fundamentally misunderstanding what I'm supposed to be doing?
