I have purchased a domain from GoDaddy.

example.com

However, I am hosting the site on a different service provider which is hemsida24.se

Things work fine except that now I want to host a sub domain on my GoDaddy account. I have already created a subdomain as subdomain.example.com using cPanel but when i browse to the sub domain URL I always get ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error.

Not sure what I am missing.

You'll need to create an A record and then enter host name (subdomain.example.com) and then add the ip address of the server.

For Godaddy follow these steps.


Log into account
Open the Domain Manager
Click the domain you are working with
Click "Total DNS Control and MX Records"
The first group in this area should be A (Host), on the top right of
this bar, click Add New A Record
Enter the host name, in my case it was "subdomain.example.com"
Enter the IP address of the server you wish to point at.


Here's the source.
