: How do I create a subdomain for a site hosted by someone who does not allow it? I want to create a subdomain for a site hosted by Jimdo (a DIY website builder). Jimdo does not allow subdomains
I want to create a subdomain for a site hosted by Jimdo (a DIY website builder).
Jimdo does not allow subdomains however. I am trying to find a workaround where a subdomain is hosted elsewhere but everything else remains as it is. E.g. I use their email service and I want to keep it.
The domain is not hosted by Jimdo, but by a host that allows me to edit my zones.
It points to the Jimdo NS.
I have independent hosting where I have NS information. This is where I want to host my subdomain.
My thinking was that I could use ZoneEdit as a "fork" that allows me to keep using my Jimdo page like before and, at the same time, directs a subdomain to another host. Provided this is possible:
Question:
How do I configure ZoneEdit CNAME or NS records to forward visitors to my website and my email to my Jimdo mail account while pointing a subdomain to another host?

Apparently this can only be pulled off reliably if I have the A records of my website. If my website host does not provide A records information, there is no guarantee that the A records of your website won't change.
Once that happens, your website will no longer be on line.
You would have to use a website monitoring tool that informs you as soon as your site is down to have some sort of insurance that you will be notified when the IP address – that is the A records – of your website changes.
So the solution works, but only at your own risk.
I have chosen not to run that risk and will find some other solution than a subdomain.
