Sounds like you already did. If you have a DNS entry that points subdomain.yourwebsite.com to your servers IP address, then that is all you need to do. The cert will need to be purchased with a CN of subdomain.yourwebsite.com. You just don't have the SSL cert installed properly.

Well i purchased ssl for subdomain name.. eg. subdomain.mysite.com and i pointed that subdomain name to my server IP. But every time when I type my subdomain name to browser to openwebsite it goes back to IP address.. Is it something in server that i need to change or? Like this I type in browser Http://subdomain.mysite.com and site opens up but with http://ip address ..

Thats interesting. Not a DNS issue. Sounds like your webserver is redirecting your web traffic. It sees your browser make a request to subdomain.mysite.com and redirects the browser to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address. I think you may have been trying to get this to work and somehow you turned that on.

Is this a public website? Do you want to post it so I can take a look and see what it is doing?
