I have 2 domains jainaditya.in (domain purchased from GoDaddy and currently parked) and techphernalia.com (domain and web hosting from one.com). I created a subdomain ajain.techphernalia.com.

Requirement : When I point to jainaditya.in it should open ajain.techphernalia.com, with addressbar still displaying jainaditya.in.

Working Example : Done similar kind of changes where sms.techphernalia.com is displaying content from some different IP (I do not know from where but lets call this B).

How I did this : Created a CNAME record for sms.techphernalia.com, waited for 2 days, called B and he did some changes on his servers and it reflected.

What is problem : Created CNAME record on jainaditya.in for www.jainaditya.in, request goes out from GoDaddy's servers and reaches one.com servers. But do not know what changes are required in techphernalia.com DNS records to display content.

In theory you could do something like this:

  1. Create an A record for jainaditya.in pointing to the IP address for ajain.techphernalia.com (which right now resolves to 46.30.212.96). We'd prefer to use a CNAME record for this instead of an A record, but you can't have a CNAME at the apex of a zone.
  2. Create another A record for www.jainaditya.in pointing to the same IP address, assuming you want www.jainaditya.in to display the same content.
  3. Ask your hosting provider for ajain.techphernalia.com (which I guess is one.com) to create two aliases for that domain in their server configuration: jainaditya.in and www.jainaditya.in. In Apache this is called a ServerAlias, but terminology may vary.

In reality, the best way to do what you want is to talk to one.com, tell them what you want to do, and see what they suggest. I imagine they would want you to move your DNS hosting for jainaditya.in over to them so they can manage all the DNS. That way if they need to change the IP address for ajain.techphernalia.com they can update all your DNS records.

  • OK, got your point. I thought if only changing DNS settings would work. Since it is creating aliases in Server Configuration so they would not do it on my behalf and I can not do since I can only create one of (Web Alias, Web Forward, A, CNAME). Thanks for all your help @hcsteve – Durgesh Chaudhary Feb 20 '14 at 06:33
