subdomains

[beedee]

if i get a subdmain is it possible to point it to another dedicated server i own? i dont want to have to sign up for another domain :)

You can point a subdomain to another website by using a CNAME in OPS. You can point a subdomain to an IP address by using an A Record in OPS.

I guess you could...

You could setup an A record and/or CNAME in OPS and have the subdomain pointing to you server (you would need an IP address or domain name to point to).

You could also use .htaccess to redirect the subdomain to another domain name (which would be on your server).

EDIT:
Too slow again :o

[tbonekkt]

Go to the DNS tab in OPS. Add a CNAME or an A Record.

Are you trying to point your subdomain to an existing domain or to an IP Address?

[beedee]

[tbonekkt]

Not if your ISP allows it.
