    Hello,

    I am not sure if I can ask this question here.

    We have:
    • a WHM
    • an account

    We would like that, ADDITIONALLY, we could browse through the web using a subdomain "hot": https://www.hot.dog.tld/

    So, this:
    https://www.dog.tld/category/article.html

    is the same as this:
    https://www.hot.dog.tld/category/article.html

    In cpanel I have tried several things (subdomain, alias, redirect...) but it does not work,

    Could you tell me how to do it or where to read about it?

    Thanks in advanced.

    Hello,

    You will need access to the following option in WHM to setup a subdomain as an alias:

    "WHM >> DNS Functions >> Park A Domain"

    I recommend reaching out to your reseller hosting provider to see if they can set that up on your behalf.

    Thank you.

    Thanks.

    My hosting provider tell me at first: "that is not possible"
    My second attempt: "create a redirection"
    My third attempt: "create a subdomain pointing to root directory"

    I am not sure, but i think no one of this options is correct...

    Hello,

    Could you let us know what happens when you create the subdomain with the corresponding document root? Does it not load as you expect it to?

    Thank you.
