Good evening.
I am the owner of a domain e.g example1.com
From domain name control panel the above domain name redirect to example2.com.
Now I would like to create a subdomain new.example1.com to point the example2.com website(domain).
Can anyone help me in order to modify domain name parameters?

    Where you buy the domain name???
    If you buy the domain name from Godaddy or Hosgator then speak to their customer care who can better help you.

    Just go to the domain options at your host company. If you already created a subdomain than it's ok. You may also need to add an existing domain to your account which will be your subdomain. Than select the options for which address you want to point it at. There should be an option for pointers. There you can choose where to point your domain name. As example, your home page, any subpages or any url.

    But I would suggest you to contact your hosting company or read their help support page if you do not have knowledge about this kind of stuff. Any mistake made may cause your site to be inaccessible or occur problems your site not to work properly.

        Hi,

        If you point the domain using name servers., like, ns1.yourhosting.com and ns2.yourhosting.com, then you can go to your cpanel and look for "subdomains" and create them right there, then you can go to "forwarding" and do the forward. subdomain2 to subdomain1

        escenario 2.

        That you created the subdomains directly on the registrar, not the cpanel.

        Then you need to create a cname record for each subdomain.
        create cname for sub1.yourdomain and point to yourhosting.com, then create subdomain 2.yourdomain and point to yourhosting.com

        then inside your cpanel go to forwarding and do the forward.

        So just to recap, there are 2 ways of doing this.

        One is completely inside cpanel in your hosting and the other is from the domain registrar.

    Thank you mxwealth.
    The second way is the effective solution for me.
