How can I make a subdomain which points to another server?

I use WHM and cPanle on my server. Here is my domain which works as well:

pronexo.net // points to 46.165.242.228

Now I want to make a subdomain which points to another server. So it should be like this:

mag.pronexo.net // should point to 51.254.92.146

How can I do that?

What I have done:

Editing my current dns zone:

And adding a new A record which points to that new ip:

But when I open this: mag.pronexo.net, it will be redirect to http://mag.pronexo.net/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi. What's the problem and how can I fix it?

Solution

  • This is the correct way to create a subdomain Martin.

    I am able to successfully load your subdomain at http://mag.pronexo.net/ and making a quick DNS lookup I see that it resolves from 51.254.92.146

    The cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi output that you're seeing is most likely due to cache - try clearing your browser's cache and access the site again.
