subdomain to point to subdirectory
lorren said 1 year ago:
I’m trying to make a subdomain that points to a subdirectory on my server of the same tld.
I was trying to create a CNAME entry drkae.dragonback.com and make it point to dragonback.com/drwp (or /drkae if it needs to be the same)
I’ve tried forwarding but it doesn’t quite do what I want it to do, which is to display drkae.dragonback.com/etcetc and not the subdirectory structure, and the masking option glitches in that it doesn’t un-mask when you click a link, even one pointing off-site, making bookmarking impossible.
Both my web hosting and domain are with Godaddy.

@Lorren,
It sounds like you need to add the Sub Domain on the Hosting plan. Also, when setting up the Sub-Domain in the DNS this would be accomplish by creating an A Record pointing to the Hosting IP, not by creating a CNAME. The following should assist:
