If you have control of the DNS zone, then you must add hostnames for the
domain and assign them to the IP. Most likely, your ISP has set up just
the domain name to point to the IP.

Just ask them to assign the names you want for your domain to the IP that
you want them to point at.

If the name does not exist in DNS, then it won't be found on the Internet.
