forum as sub domain

[manaskapoor]

I have my forum with forumotion.net it is working great now i wish to add it to my subdomain
presently the address is

http://kaysonseducation.forumotion.net

I want to create

www.forum.kaysonseducation.com

In the help they have asked me to change my cname

Here is what they are saying


When you choose the sub-domain which you wish to use on your forum (forum.my_domain, for example, is a sub-domain of my_domain), you have to create the corresponding CNAME entry in the DNS administration of your domain: a CNAME entry allows to point an url towards the other one in a transparent way. That way, you can link forum.my_domain with forumotion board YourForum.forumotion.com.

Any recorder of domains names possesses different interfaces, and thus different methods to create such CNAME. However, in a general way, the process takes place as described below:


* Connect to your user account on the site of your domain name provider, and go to the DNS management.
* Check that the chosen sub-domain is not already used.
* In the generally entitled field "source", "origin", or "alias" enter the prefix of sub-domain (i.e. "Forum" if you want to use the sub-domain forum.my_domain).
* In the generally entitled field "destination" or " target host ", enter the original url of your forum, address.my_forum.
* You will maybe have to inform the TTL (Time To Live): define the maximal possible value here.

On your control panel, under Account Management click on DNS Management and delete the A record and create the CNAME record for the subdomain.

If you don't have a link to DNS Management you should contact your hosting company; all providers don't allow DNS Management by default.
