can anyone guide me about hosting a domain with different host? I mean main domain is host with Host A and I want to host myname.domain.com with Host B. any ideas?
The change has to be at the DNS level. If your current provider handles DNS, it's easy. buy your second hosting service and explain your configuration to them so they can set up their own DNS. ask your current provider to change DNS to direct to those of the second provider. In this case, I would recommend you stick to your providers' support instead of trying to do it solo if you are not experienced
You can edit the CNAME records under "total dns control" at godaddy only if you are hosting the domain with godaddy as well. Otherwise it will need to be edited on your host's server, there's an easy way to do this via most control panels.
Sorry I am too dumb for this I guess. anyway let me explain once again.. My domain is registered at www.godaddy.com My domain www.mydomain.com is hosted at Host A now I want to host subdomain.mydomain.com at Host B can you please walk thru the process... I already searched google and found nothing... Now please... assume that I dont have anyknowledge of DNS... management.. can anyone explain.. thank you
Okay, what is the OS & web server on HOST A. Which control panel is it running? Cpanel/WHM, Plesk or...?
i want to host my subdomain with dreamhost.... I am hosting main domain with hostgator they are using cpanel
You're going to need access to webhost manager (accessible at https://yourdomain.com:2087) to change cname records. It's not possible from within cpanel. You can ask your host to do this for you, to change the cname records for your subdomain to point it to the dreamhost IP.
I have paid hosting on netfirms and hostforweb and registered domain on nefirms. Netfirms allows to do this without any knowledge from me, just via control panel.
Now am being really a dumb ass.. I do have access to WHM.. and i went to edit dns zone... but not usre what to put in there..... lol...
