Hi, I have a domain name which I want to point to a subdomain of a website hosted somewhere else.
Is there a way to do this with DNS settings?
Cus in the A type, I'm only able to type IPs...

Yes, use a cname record instead of A type record. While adding the cname record alias your main domain name to the other subdomain.

and no A type record? Or use an A type record for the main IP?

No need to add A type record for the domain, just a cname record would do the job.
