I have a site hosted on Webhostingpad and my domain is registered on Godaddy.
In my account at Godaddy I have it set to use the Webhostingpad name servers: NS1.WEBHOSTINGPAD.COM
and NS2.WEBHOSTINGPAD.COM
.
This means the CNAME that maps www.mysite.net
to mysite.net
is provided by the Webhostingpad nameserver rather than Godaddy.
But now I want a new subdomain to direct to a new address (my home server that uses a dynamic DNS service). So I want to make a new CNAME entry somewhere that maps homesubdomain.mysite.net
to myaccount.dyndns.com
.
I could do this by setting this CNAME from Webhostingpad but I'm wondering how to do this by setting this CNAME at Godaddy. Can I make an A entry for my naked domain that goes to NS1.webhostingpad.com
? Does it make any sense to do this? If not, how can I get the Godaddy name server to forward only specific sub domains (or the naked domain) to webhostingpad?
