    Hello

    i need to setup 1.domain.com to another host

    I have domain (domain.com) which is on dedicate server with root access.

    also have 2-nd-domain.com which is on hostgator host(where can i add domains via addon domains)

    now i need to setup 1.domain.com subdomain on hostgator.

    how can i do it ?

    pls correct me, if i'm wrong

    1. via Directadmin Subdomain Management tool (on domain.com) add "1" subdomain

    2. check "DNS Management" section -> 1.domain.com is on main domain.com IP

    Unfortunately there isn't any option to edit this record. i can only delete it and add manually. (i know, that i can do it via SSH - > edit config file, but i don't have enought experience to edit files via SSH. just know, few commands, how to archive, reboot, move, etc ...)

    delete this record and add manually

    DNS Management -> Add Domain Records ->
    1.domain.com - A record =IP of hostgatore host

    btw, did i need to add NS records?

    3. go to 2-nd-domain.com and try to add 1.domain.com via addon domains.

    hmm

    it seems, that i'm doing something wrong, as i got
    what i'm doing wrong ?
    pls any advise?

    Process seems OK...but have you given enough time for the DNS of 1.domain.com to propagate?

    Also, some shared hosts like HG need all domains to be pointing to their nameservers before they can be added.

    I'd suggest you submit a ticket to HG and they should do it for you.

    thank you

    everything is ok.

    i just forgot to restart server after all of this changes. that's why in config file are old records :)

    thank you
