Subdomain on another host (another IP, another provider)

Question

Let's say my main domain is domain.net and i'm using it on a Media Temple (gs) server.

I have my blog on the subdomain blog.domain.net

Now I want to host my blog on my new VPS from Linode.

So, I need to keep domain.net on Media Temple and blog.domain.net on Linode.

Is this possible? Any advice?

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible. All you have to do is create an A record in your domain.net DNS for blog.domain.net which points to the IP address of the server at Linode.

Here is a link to the Media Temple documentation for this.
