Question about GoDaddy..

[SaturnX]

Hey everyone,

For those of you who use GoDaddy as your domain name registar, I have a quick question... I've currently got a site under a subdomain of one site..

ie: user.domain.com

Would it be possible to register a .com name, and have it point to the user.domain.com site?

I'm assuming that it'd be configured with a C Name entry, no?

I generally don't work with point domains to another, but rather domains > IPs etc..

Thanks any info.

IIRC, if you want to do this with GoDaddy that THEY need to be the host for the domain.

Do you use them for hosting or only for name registration?

I currently use GoDaddy as my registrar, and then use ZoneEdit to control the DNS settings for my domains. It'll let you assign the IP addresses for any subdomains off of your domain that you wish to set up, plus it's free. So you'd register the domain with GoDaddy, tell it to use the ZoneEdit DNS servers, then configure ZoneEdit to have user.domain.com point to whichever IP address you want it to point to.
