I have a domain name registered through 123-reg (Pipex) which I want to point at a subdomain of my separate webspace.

Thing is, I just cannot get a grip on how to change the DNS records (All that "A" and "CNAME" stuff) in order to do it without needing web forwarding.

I've looked at tutorials and help systems and stuff but it's just not making any sense.

Does anyone know of an "idiots guide", or can help me specifically, I'd be wonderfully grateful!

Details:

Domain name:

bratmaster.co.uk

subdomain I want to point to:

http://fitz.lithaborn.co.uk


At the moment, I have framed web forwarding, which isn't really what I want.

What I'm after is to be able to add subfolders to the domain name, like http://bratmaster.co.uk/forum etc.

I don't know if this is making sense, but I really am lost on this.

Help!

Do you have a control panel with your web hosting or server? Control panel is like cPanel, DirectAdmin etc. If you do have one of those then add the domain bratmaster.co.uk instead of the subdomain or add it as an addon domain.

Once you've done that, set your nameservers and you're set to go
