You would need to ask HG to add them to your dns zone.

The information you provided looks like the DNS entries for a subdomain. You can add a subdomain in cPanel and it will create the DNS entries.

The address myspacelaidout.cafenubia.com is showing an index of the files. It looks like the DNS Zone is right but something is preventing the index.php file from loading. I would check the .htaccess file in that folder.

what should the .htaccess file look like,how would i know if its a problem there

If you copy the contents of the .htaccess file here we can see if anything is causing the index.php file to not be read.

i checked the file named myspacelaidout and i cant find a .htaccess file,i placed myspacelaidout in my public_html ,i see a .htaccess in the public html but not the myspacelaidout

Cafenubia-- can we keep all your issues in one thread? A lot of them are interrelated and it's easier to keep track that way.

Cafenubia,

If you want your index.php file to load automatically when someone types in this subdomain, you can add:
DirectoryIndex index.php

To your .htaccess file in that subdomain's directory. If there is not one there already you can create a blank one and enter that line, that should solve that issue.
