    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.

    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
    should be easier (at least this is what my personal experience says)
