How to Host Subdomain Name on Other Webhosting?

    Hello.

    I'm not owning a dedicated server. In fact, I rent a shared hosting for my website.

    The webhosting is offering the cPanel.
    In the cPanel it doesn't have the DNS setting, DNS records, or such thing.

    I register my domain at NameCheap, and point it to my existing webhosting, from the DNS setting.

    Now, how can I host my subdomain on other webhosting?

    Example.

    PANGERAN.ORG (Main domain) - Hosted at Hosting A

    PERSONAL.PANGERAN.ORG (The Subdomain) - Hosted at Hosting B

    Why?

    I want to give other people using my subdomain, but I don't want to host them.

    use the "subdomain" icon in the control panel to add the personal subdomain. make note, a folder on the root directory of public_html will be created with the name of the subdomain where the user can create their site. many subdomains look kinda messy after awhile if you ftp often into your site poking thru the folder structures. for FTP access, just use the FTP Manager icon to limit access to that folder.

    Err... I think you got me wrong...
    The instruction that you gave is for setting up a subdomain in the same host of the main domain.

    I want to let other people use my subdomain, but I don't want to be burdened to host it.

    Take at co.cc for example.

    I want the subdomain of my main domain to be hosted at other webhost.... :eek:

    I think the Process is just like abercrombie mentioned. After creating the subdomain in your cpanel, to point it to the 'ELSEWHERE' server, you must have access to DNS setting so you can Point the Subdomain to the 'ELSEWHERE' IP. This you can accomplish by adding the new sdomain and the 'ELSEWHERE' IP in CNAME.
    Cheers!

    Thanks, I'm gonna try this.
    Indeed I don't have control to DNS because I'm using cPanel.
