I have DNS for domain.com hosted on web hosting company A.

is it possible for me to have DNS for subdomain.domain.com hosted on web hosting company B?

If yes, how do I configure both the DNS on both web hosting company?
 
Yes, You have to create NS records for the subdomain in the zone file for the main domain at company A, and then create a normal DNS zone for the subdomain at company B.

Hi,

Sorry Im kind of new to DNS>..
Can you write out a quick sample?

Actually Company B is not a web hosting company, but just a WinServer hosted at my house...

Idea?
 
I have no idea how to run DNS on a MS-Windows-based system. You should create an A record for your subdomain on what you call Server A.

This is a forum for users of the DirectAdmin Control Panel. You can find instructions for using and setting up DNS on DirectAdmin servers here.

If you don't have access to your DNS control panel, then you need to contact your hosting company.

Server A is a web hosting company using DirectAdmin, and yes I have access to the DNS management.

If I'm using DirectAdmin on a linux machine setup in my house (to host the subdomain.domain.com), do you have a quick guide?

Thanks again!!
 
Message #2 of this thread is a quick guide. More detail is at the link I posted.

If you have other questions, please write the specific question so someone can respond.

Thanks.

If I to create a NS record on Server A, what do I write in the NS field? Server B has no domain binded to it.
 
You'll need to create a ns zone (for this example I'll call it nsb). Create an A record in the zone for nsb pointing to the IP# of the second server, and an NS record pointing to that.
