Domain subdomain pointing help
Hello,
I own and control the DNS for a domain name. Let's call it 1.com. I want it to point to another domain name but not redirected (I want my 1.com to display in the URL). The domain I want it to point to is:
a) A subdomain of another domain
b) Has a shared ip address
So, how do I point 1.com to subdomain.2.com and get it to display 1.com? I do not control the DNS for subdomain.2.com.
Thank you very much

I think CNAME is the thing you need, but I would wait for the experts to corroborate this.

You could use the domain masking tool of your domain registrar.█ Diego Rodríguez B. - https://diegorbaquero.com

domain masking or cname, couldve used dns zone editor settings but you want to display your domain in address bar so first 2options might be it.

I would also go for CNAME
