    I have a domain at godaddy.com and its hosted at godaddy too. I want to host a sub domain of this domain at another hosting provider. I guess i need to do this in Godaddy domain control panel. But I have no idea what should I do.

    Anyone know how to do this ? :)

    you would need to use CNAME and a A record.
    this can found in the domain dns setting in your hosting account

    You will just need to add an A record in the DNS zone of the main domain. For example, if you create subdomain.domain.com then create A record in the DNS zone of domain.com as follow:

    subdomain A IP_ADDRESS_OF_SUBDOMAIN

    Well still its not working. Here what I did. I want to host cf.mangaraiders.com at another hosting account

    I did add an A record to main domain host. I did add second hosts ip address and subdomain.

    then at second host I added subdomain and made a folder called cf as its folder.

    Now when I goto cf.domain.com it shows second hosts default page which says domain is not configured.

    second hosts control panel is Kloxo.

    this is the subdomain >> cf.mangaraiders.com . What have I missed ?

    Can you access your subdomainusing temporary URL from Kloxo server. Just to make sure that sub-domain is setup properly in Kloxo. If you can't access it using temporary URL then there might be a problem to setup sub-domain.

    I'm new to this Kloxo panel. Could you tell me what are the options I have to use setup subdomain for this except Adding subdomain and directing it to right folder.

    In Kloxo where do I find subdomainusing temporary URL option ?

    Did you follow all four options display on default kloxo page. I am not sure how to create temp URL in kloxo but on linux with Apache, you can access your account using http://IP/~user/ if mod_userdir is off. There should be similar option in Kloxo too. If you have dedicated IP address you can directly access it using IP address. In meantime, also drop an email to your hosting provider where you have hosted sub-domain.
