Hi, is it possible that if I own this domain example.com then I would like to redirect 1.example.com to another host so that my friend can use that subdomain? Thanks
No one know how to do it? Something like this http://www.purple.com/availability.html about redirecting subdomain to your host.
It is quite simple in fact. It's a matter of DNS configuration. Go to your hosting panel and look for "DNS" or just contact the customer support.
i know that it's posible. you can do and redirect all your traffic and subdomanin. indeed go to cpanel and check for dns !
The exact description of the option will depend on your control panel but you need to go into the DNS manager for your domain and create a "CNAME" or "A" record. The owners of the host your friend is using will be able to tell you which you need and what value it should have. NB: Some hosting panels (e.g. Direct Admin) have an option to stop users changing their DNS, because this is one of the most popular way for end users to shoot themselves in the foot. It's possible that your hosting company may have turned this on; if so you'll need to ask them to unlock you.
