http://forums.cpanel.net – Hi there. I have a client with domain that uses Squarespace custom domain CNAME records. Now they ask if its possible to open 2 sub domains (login and shop) and set 2 own custom domain CNAME records for those? I have now set up sub domains but started to think if its really possible to set unique DNS records for those? If this is possible, where do I edit the DNS records for sub domains? Best regards, Jonathan (HowTos)

Stories similar to custom domain for sub domain?

I need a help on setting-up a custom CNAME records for two sub-domains which will point to main domain name http://www.domain.com/.

http://it.domain.com/ (Italy)

http://fr.domain.com/ (France)

I do not not mean here sub-domain re-direction which can be easily done through cPanel "subdomains".

We're running a Windows DNS (Server 2008, Active Directory) on our network.

DNS for a subdomain 41 weeks 1 day ago

I have: - two DNS servers: 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 - domain name: domain.com pointed to 1.1.1.1

I want to point sub domain: sub.domain.com to 2.2.2.2 (obviously www.sub.domain.com too)

on 1.1.1.1 I've create a DNS A record pointing sub.domain.com to 2.2.2.2

accessing sub.domain.com now lead to 2.2.2.2 successfully

the problem is the DNS records on 2.2.2.2 such as CNAME www do not work means access

I have a Heroku app and a domain that maps to it. The host records are set up as follows:

Now I want email to admin@mydomain.com to be forwarded to my gmail account. I was told by the support for my domain name registrar that since I'm using CNAME records that's not possible as the MX records will be overridden by the CNAME records. Is that true? If so how can I work around it?

I have two domains that refuse to accept changes to the name server records. One domain has had this problem for 6 months and the other just did this today. I use DreamHost as my domain registrar and I am trying to set Hurricane Electric as my name server.

I am not exactly a new user, as I have set up several servers with cPanel and added new accounts quite successfully, but this one has got me stumped.

The domain is rosehedge.co.uk and when I use intodns.com I get the reply that the nameservers are not responding.

exim4: multiple domains/IPs 37 weeks 3 days ago

On my VPS I have 3 IPs which all have their own domain and their own reverse-DNS records. I have a website on each domain, sending emails.

The problem is: the emails are rejected by many hosts because the reverse dns doesn't fit the host in the helo. All the emails are sent from the primary IP and therefore only one of the three domains work.

I am trying to point www.irishcrunch.com and irishcrunch.com to irishcrunch-herokuapp.com but GoDaddy keeps on denying me when I try to use a CNAME. Heroku frowns upon using A records (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains) so I'm not sure what the best way of approaching this is.

I'm trying to solve this without using forwarding cause that's definitely a hack.

I read through some guides on this and I believe it is possible to have apache respond to a subdomain through ssl. I have domain.com responding on 80 and I do not need domain.com responding on 443.
