I bought a domain from GoDaddy. Let's call this domain abc.com.

I've a hosting account at web hosting A with abc.com as my primary domain.

I created a sub-domain pic.abc.com and I wish it to be pointed to my new hosting account.

This web hosting B also uses abc.com as the primary domain.

The main purpose of doing this is because I only want to use web hosting B to host my pic.abc.com contents. That's all. Other content from *.abc.com and abc.com will be remain at web hosting A.

How to do this?

Additional notes...


I tried to add pic.abc.com as an add-on domain to my web hosting B account. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that.
I also tried to use URL forwarding method using DNS management service like DNS Social. It doesn't work.
I'm using WordPress on the pic.abc.com site. Both web hosting A and B running cPanel - Apache servers (shared hosting).

You just need to point your subdomain pic.abc.com to hosting B IP address. Please just login to your CP--> DNS setting--> find the A record and change it.

Go to the DNS manager in godaddy, edit the zone for abc.com, and create an "A" record that points pic.abc.com to the IP address of the new host. You might have to use a CNAME record instead of an A record, but the process is very similar.
