    Adding domain name over a subdomain
    « on: November 22, 2007, 05:26:27 PM »
    ok say i have a domain: www.yoursite.com

    and then i have a subdomain: blahblah.yoursite.com

    I have purchased another domain and want to add it over the subdomain.. How do i do that? What do i put in the name servers? as i can't put the same as the original domain as it would just link to the same site surely?

    Thanks

    If you are using a service for the subdomain, you will need to contact the administrator of the subdomain and find out how doing this works with their servers. There should be an IP address that might look like this:
    72.14.253.147/~yoursite

    You will need to configure the domain to redirect to that address, but in order to find that address, you will need to contact the provider of your subdomain first.

    (Different servers = different systems = different configurations. We cant help you with a definite answer)

    Also, make sure that its acceptable in your subdomain providers policy to make sure that this is acceptable on their terms.
