sagnik Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 cPanel allows users to create subdomains, I want to create a subdomain "cdn.whatsnew.cf" and point it to another hosting provider as HelioHost is limited to disk space I need a website which allows much disk space, which will store my members images/contents in another host. And I need to point the subdomain using "NS" record only. Is there any way to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You can add an A or CNAME that would point to an external server, but we don't support subdomain delegation with NS records, which is what you want to do (very few places support this actually, when you do find it, it's often either a registrar or dedicated dns provider who has it). You need to either use cloudflare (which sometimes causes other problems), or just use a regular domain like whatsnew-content.cf instead (easiest).

sagnik Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Okay thanks. I choose the second option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I've used a CNAME successfully for what you're trying to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagnik Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 How you did it?The hosting provider advised to set the Nameservers of my domain to their Nameservers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Go to https://tommy.heliohost.org:2083/frontend/paper_lantern/zone_editor/index.html#/listclick +cname record.Under name set it to something like content.sgnetworks.cfUnder cname set it to something like sagnik.otherhost.comThat way all requests on your site look like they're all coming from the same domain.
