Subdomain creation and dns on godaddy

[jmauro8ac]

Hi, I have taking so long when I configure a new sub domain because I'm using godaddy dns manager to admin my dns records, so I have to make the subdomain on the cpanel on my WebHostingBuzz account and then add a cname record on my godaddy dns manager. But recently they added a ns records ability that suggest me that I can avoid the cname record creation if I can add my WebHostingBuzz server to this ns record. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
I'm trying to use this on goddady ns server confg:
Host Name: @
Points To Host Name: ns100.whbdns.com
But something seems to be wrong, ERROR - Request Failed
Their documentation says something about "NOTE: You must set up a corresponding zone file for the domain with the third-party provider."

If you want to create a sub-domain for the domain hosted here, but with its DNS Zone hosted at Godaddy using Godaddy nameservers, you would have to:

1. Create the sub-domain here at WHB, using the cPanel function.
2. Create an "A" record for the new sub-domain, in the DNS Zone at Godaddy. You said you were creating a CNAME, and that is not correct. You need an A record.

A record? why? cname works

[Alan B]

A sub-domain requires an A record. If you want to do things properly, that's what is needed. If it works without it, that's your choice, but I prefer to do things right.

ok I will use a record next time, any value reason?

[Alan B]

I'm assuming you want the sub-domain to show something different than the main domain. Your explanation lacked much detail, so I have to guess. If the sub-domain is intended to just provide a different name to resolve to an existing domain, then a CNAME can work.

If you want more specifics, provide more detail about what you're trying to do. For instance, what is the new sub-domain and what will it be used for?

I have a subdomain.anotherthing.midomain that just shows the index.html file of midomain/anotherting/subdomain

cnames can point to a domain name, where an a record can point to an IP. Also, a records provide full forwarding, or in other words, I use dot.tk's DNS services for a domain which points to my computer. I use an a record so that not only do web services go through, but I can also remote-access through SSH.

OK, I will use A record next time thanks a lot
