Hi,
I'm not sure, but it is the first time I've seen a www written before subdomain.
Have you seen your any case?
Is it possible?

you can put a www.subdomain.000webhost.com and www.smething.herobo.com it works ...
on the page where you create the subdomain is writen
www. _____ .domain.com

Everywere ive seen a writen adress containing a subdomain, www was there

iam not used to write www. but sometimes using other pc-s than mine i've seen that without www comes up the search engine

and http:// mignt seem to much knowledge fore someone who don't use internet very often...;

I do not believe there is any way to easily fix this problem without 000webhost's intervention at the DNS level since either an alias for 'www' or a messier wildcard '*' record would be the only straightfoward way to fix it.

If www.sub.domain.com is not resolving for you (I have not tested it myself), then they are very likely not providing either of those DNS record types.

If that is the case, 000webhost do provide a 'www' alias when you create create a domain with them (including their own provided ones) but not subdomains. After checking a few other top-level internet domains, this seems much more common than providing an automatic 'www' alias for subdomains.

Given low level DNS management is not part of 000webhost's free offering, likely the only way to fix it here is by duplicating your site (adding a www.sub.domain.com, in addition to your existing sub.domain.com) or by upgrading your account and asking for additional DNS services.

I've been looking into it myself, and this appears to be the case. Sub-domains created within the 000webhost control panel cannot be accessed with the "www".

Not a big deal to me since I rarely use them, but the control panel is a bit misleading when adding a subdomain because it shows the "www" before the subdomain when adding one.
