I've seen other people on this forum with roughly this problem but I'm afraid I'm still in the dark.
Essentially, I've been asked to build and host a website. My client has already bought the name they want from Domainmonster.com and given me access to the control panel. I'm building the site as a sub-domain of my own web site and would like to framelessly forward his URL to it. (So I can put my own meta tags in and get verification etc) yet have the page keep the domain name. Not change to that of my sub domain. I don't have the IP address of the sub-domain. I've read elsewhere on this site that by setting the CNAME to point to my sub domain, this should do it but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone explain how (or indeed IF) I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance

What are you hosting with? If you're using cpanel or directadmin you can add the domain as an addon domain and point it to your public_html. Then you set the cname.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I'm not sure I follow you.
I use CPANEL btw. Presently I have the site built and residing at my sub domain say: www.sub.domain.com
The customer has the address: www.customer.com with domainmonster.

Do I change the CNAME value at domain monster end or where the website resides? ie: at the sub domain end?

On domain monster the only fields I have is: Alias and Address.
I assume alias is www.customer.com and the address will be www.sub.domain.com


If I set this nothing happens

TIA
