Hello,

Not quite sure where to even start...

My Situation: I have a website (wwwexample.c o m),this website is hosted on my server at home, and has its own IP address etc..I'm looking to create a new section (call it blog) for the website, but I want it built on a web hosting service provider.

I want to integrate this new section into my existing website, and maintain the same URL structure so that the new section appears like so:

wwwexample.c o m (originalwebsite)
wwwexample.c o m/blog(new section to be integrated from Webhosting company)

How can I make it so that the new section shares the same URL, and so that when someone clicks on examplec o m/blog it goes to the new section hosted somewhere else?

Any help is much appreciated.

You can do it like this.


www.example.com - 99.123.82.28
blog.example.com - 216.24.2.28

To do the above example, you would need to use "A" records. You can set those in WHM, or at your domain registrar if your using their DNS.

As far I know you cannot host domain & sub-directory to different location, but you can host domain & sub-domain to different location as mentioned above.

Hi thanks for the quick reply, I'm actually trying to avoid that URL set up.. Do you know of any other way?

I was thinking of doing something like this.. (DNS Round Robin)

server A hosts website
server B hosts section of website (blog)

Server A: is actual website
Server B: same file structure as server A, but only has redirect scripts

If visitor lands on server A website, everything is rendered correctly

If visitor lands on server B website, they are redirected to the corresponding server A website page

Basically the visitor is always forced back onto Server A through redirects.

On the server A website, there is a link to a blog section (www.example.com/blog). If clicked, the visitor is directed to the server B website that hosts the blog section.

DNS round robin would keep the same URL, albeit taking longer.. any suggestions? Can anyone outline a brief summary of another way I might be able to get this done? Sorry for the noobness!
