Subdomain direct to webmail

[vanilla]

Hi there

How can i redirect http://myip.com:2096 into a subdomain like webmail.mydomain.com?

When i try it with cname and A Records, it doesn't catch.

Kind regards

Hi @vanilla,

The following documentation may assist you further.

Tweak Settings - Redirection - Version 82 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Let us know if that page that @ZenHostingTravis doesn't get you the details you need!

@cPRex you're everywhere haha.

Well how can i forware a IP-addess:Port ? Do i have to build a FTP Redirect?

You wouldn't be able to forward it, but the WHM interface that @ZenHostingTravis mentioned will tell the system how to handle connections. For example, if you have the Tweak Settings >> Redirection page setup so the first option is "on" and the other options are both the "hostname" selection, no matter how the client connects to the domain name they will get taken to https://your.hostname.com:2087

Does that help clear things up?

my idea would be, that i can make entries on my DNS like "webmail.mydomain.com" and "hosting.mydomain.com" So that those port numbers wouldn't display. Also hide the hostname from my cpanel server "Ipaddress.cprapid.com".

By default, cPanel creates the Service Subdomains, which is another option in WHM >> Tweak Settings. It will setup the following subdomains so they redirect traffic to the proper areas of the system, so you don't have to use the port number:

cpanel
webmail
webdisk
cpcalendars
cpcontacts
whm

Can you ensure that is set to "On" on your machine? If so, the DNS records and Apache records will be automatically created in cPanel for you :D

so if i have a domain in cpanel with user xy, how can i connect that with whm? so webmail.mydomain.com as example?

If your domain is using local nameservers, you don't need to do anything extra to get that working. cPanel will setup all the necessary records to make that work properly when the account is created.
