subdomain - Subdomain on different host

Question

I'm trying to host a subdomain for my site with a different hosting company and I'm running into issues on how to set it up.

Here are the specifics: - Domain is registered with GoDaddy. - Nameservers are pointing to DiscountASP.net where ASP.NET app has been happily running for couple of years. - Would like blog.mydomain.com to point to my account with DreamHost.com to take advantage of their LAMP stack.

I have added blog.mydomain.com to DreamHost (after adding mydomain.com) via their control panel. I thought I would be able to add a subdomain entry on GoDaddy to point to DreamHost, but all they allow is blog.mydomain.com = new url.

In theory I could just take our .biz or .net domain and host it on DreamHost but was hoping I could do it all with a subdomain.

So, to summarize I'd like to know if what I want to do is feasible and if so, how do I go about it (given the constraints of GoDaddy, DiscountASP, & DreamHost).

Answer 1

sub domain is part of the domain, it's like subletting a room of an apartment. A records has to be setup on the dns for the domain e.g

mydomain.com has IP 123.456.789.999 and hosted with Godaddy. Now to get the sub domain

anothersite.mydomain.com

of which the site is actually on another server then

login to Godaddy and add an A record ^dnsimple anothersite.mydomain.com and point the IP to the other server 98.22.11.11

And that's it.

Answer 2

You just need to add an "A" record in the DNS manager on Godaddy. In that "A" record put your IP from dreamhost.

I know this works since I'm doing the very same thing.

Answer 3

更新 - ドメインが DiscountASP でホストされているため、GoDaddy で Total DNS を有効にしていません。そのため、A レコードを追加できませんでした。そのため、GoDaddy は私のサブドメインを別のサイトに転送することしか提案していませんでした。DreamHost を指すように A レコードを追加するには、DiscountASP に移動する必要があることに最終的に気付きました。すべてが機能するかどうかを確認するのを待っています！

もちろん、臭いIPを使用してください！なぜそれが私に登録されなかったのかわかりません。別の URL を指しているヘルパー テキストの例が私をうんざりさせていたと思います。

お二方ともお返事ありがとうございます。最初だったブライアントの応答を読んだ途端に「わかった」が、サイフはそれを一段と上げて、もう少し詳細を追加した.

ありがとう！
