Creating Sub domains?

Question

I just recently registered a new domain name. I am wondering how I would create a sub domain (ex. email.example.com), and have it transfer to an outside webpage. (ex gmail.com). I am using xampp for my web server and using EditDNS for my dns server. I have already tried creating a CNAME record but when I attempt to go to the created sub domain, I receive a Server Not Found error in firefox. Any help anyone could provide would ge greatly appriciated.

Answer 1

why dont you just add the sub domain, and then make an index.html on it which will redirect it to gmail.com in javascript, for example:



sub.mydomain.com - index.html:

Dear friend, you need a web hosting service to be able to make your subdomains or display your vweb pages. Domain is just a name and it doesn't mean having a website.



If you want to start a website I suggest you to purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.



And any bad web hosting service would trouble you for a long period. At first, try to choose a reliable service to get rid of the subsequent problems.



As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

In undemanding words: you could inform your sub-domain names the place to pass - to DNS ( area call server) So, whoever is the registrar on your sub-domain names, could have the DNS of the revealed website. locate out the godaddy DNS on your area registered and upload that DNS to the different sub-domain names. in many situations stars with NS1. or NS2.

In my opinion you should just transfer to an affordable web hosting company that offers cPanel...which is a control panel that allows you to set up sub-somains with a few clicks of a mouse. Easy as that!
