Could someone helps?
It seems everything is correct setting.
I have point my subdomain from readthedocs project as below.
Type Name Value TTL Actions
CNAME docs webpres.readthedocs.io. 1 Hour
NOTED. Here is godaddy domain hosting.
My hostname docs.webpres.org
and webpres.readthedocs.io is the readthedocs theme Short URLs.
Could anyone have a look if found any wrong with my set up
Regard
Rony
Note that the correct way to set up the DNS CNAME record is pointing it to readthedocs.io instead of <slug>.readthedocs.io. Check the documentation about this https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/custom-domains.html#adding-a-custom-domain

My github pages site with a custom domain works just fine on mobile but when i try to access the same URL from desktop i get a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error. Any ideas why this may be ? The site can be found here if it helps Site
EDIt: it works with this link which does not include 'www.' if this makes my problem any clearer
I doubt that it shows on your mobile, DNS records doesn't return anything WhatsMyDNS
Are you certain that you've got your DNS server up correctly.? I did a lookup for your domain name and it doesn't appear that you've got your CNAME pointing to GitHub pages. To do so, add a CNAME record to your domain via your domain registrar's dashboard. This should point to the name of your GitHub pages url (ex. john.github.io/xyz). You can read up on this more here.
I notice you say that it doesnt work if you add the www.. I'm not exactly sure why this is (there's not enough information to say why). I'm guessing you did not correctly set up the record, so here's what it should look like:
# A 4H 127.0.0.1
(You may change the TTL and IP, of course)
I'm guessing you forgot the # in the first field, which puts it under both www and the root subdomain. If this is not the case, you can attempt to fix this issue by adding www in a separate record to easily resolve the problem.
www A 4H 127.0.0.1
Note that this will work for both CNAME and A records.
Maybe desktop dns server is not so fast to fetch changes.
Change dns server in desktop connection settings for a public google's 8.8.8.8. For windows that's going to be Control Panel > Network and sharing center > Change adapter settings > Right click adapter (in my case it was WIFI) > Choose connection (Internet protocol Version 4) > Click Properties > Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" > Enter 8.8.8.8 in "Preferred DNS server" > Click OK
I am a newbie in the field and faced the same issue. Came here to find the solution. I just did plug out the ethernet and connected my laptop to my wifi and it worked.
I have a Github project, github.com/jeti/matrix, and I set up a "Github pages" site for the project so that it is accessible here jeti.github.io/matrix/.
That is all configurable through Github.
Now, I would like to add a subdomain of my personal website so that the website is accessible via the subdomain matrix.jeti.io of my website jeti.io.
I am just really confused how to do that because the documentation don't seem to show how to redirect a project page to a subdomain. I have tried a few permutations of what I think should be the correct inputs, but because these DNS changes take so long to propagate, it is really hard to test.
Specifically, I would like to know what value to enter into Github as the Custom domain (it seems to me that this should simply be the subdomain matrix.jeti.io, but I am not sure, so I have left this blank):
Then I also need to create the subdomain. I bought the domain through OVH, and they provide a few options for adding a DNS entry:
My understanding is that I need to add 2 apex records. I did that already:
What is unclear to me is whether I also need to add a CNAME entry. This is what the form looks like when I try to add a CNAME entry:
So in recap:
I did not specify the Custom Domain on the Github site.
I created the 2 apex records shown above.
I did not create a CNAME entry.
Please tell me which of these steps needs to be changed and how to modify it.
After more trial and error, the answer seems to be
The Github custom domain should indeed be matrix.jeti.io
I did not need the apex records. In fact, Github emailed me discouraging it. So I deleted the apex records.
In OVH, I added a DNS CNAME entry like this:
The thing that was confusing me is that I thought that the CNAME entry needed to have a link to the original Github pages WITH the project name jeti.github.io/matrix. That was wrong. The target is simply jeti.github.io. (Note the period on the end).

I'm using Orchard 1.6.1.
Say my first site is called domain.com. I tried to create a new tenant and put the beta.domain.com as the Host with no URL prefix (seeing that it is Optional).
The url http://beta.domain.com is shown and when I try to Set Up, it doesn't show anything. I tried to remove the subdomain and enter a prefix which resulted in http://domain.com/beta. It worked, however, I would very much prefer a subdomain as shown/detailed here: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Setting-up-a-multi-tenant-orchard-site
Do I have to set it up in my DNS server?
Any piece of advise or information would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
If you have an IIS server, you will need to have your beta.domain.com point at it and then add a binding to your website in iis of beta.domain.com for it to pick it up.
If you're using shared hosting and you don't have access to IIS. Then you should use Domain Aliases (in Plesk) rather than setting the DNS. It would make your Orchard CMS on your primary domain serve the tenant site.
Example: You want to add a tenant site on tenant.mysite.com then you should add a domain alias tenant.mysite.com to mysite.com domain. Don't forget to check the Web option if using Plesk.
In case of you have access to IIS, you need to add binding to your primary domain.
We have 2 different websites. One is xy.com another is xyz.com. The domain xyz.com is redirected to a folder on xy.com\one
This works fine. Now we want a particular link to be opened (for example, www.xyz.com\abc.html). I am placing this file in xy.com\one\abc.html. But when I enter this url, it takes me to home page, instead of abc.html. Though I can open abc.html, by entering www.xy.com\one\abc.html.
I need to open this file, from link, www.xyz.com\abc.html. How to accomplish this??

I think the problem is your slashes are reversed. Did you keep your url's near a strong magnet?
If you are using apache you might want to have a look at mod_rewrite. There are similar methods available for other servers.
Would be good to know which environment you are using (web server and server side language) and if you are applying the re-direct rules in a programmatic way or via server configuration.
To give a serious reply, there could be several things wrong in the redirect.
You have to setup a redirect from the old domain to the new, by using a .htaccess on the old domain, changing the DNS records for the domain, or probably some other alternatives. Which of these have you used?
In case of the second option the receiving server (xy.com) has to accept the incoming domain (xyz.com). When I set my DNS records for a domain to go to a certain server, I have to actually setup the server to accept that domain, usually by "parking" it in Cpanel. Some hosts charge per parked domain, which is why they don't accept the incoming traffic automatically.
Depending on the method used, the receiving server has to be told what to do with the request.
So most importantly: HOW did you set up the redirect? Was it a DNS record? Was it a htaccess on the side of xy.com? Any other methods? (sorry, this isn't really an answer either but it was too long for the comments)
What is the difference between the following URLs?
http://www.forums.example.com and
http://forums.example.com ?
Actually I've created a new subdomain in my website and it's working fine when I try to access without www (i.e http://forums.example.com) But when I try to give URL like http://www.forums.example.com it is showing "Page not found".
Why is this and how can I fix the issue?
If I am not mistaken, www. is also considerd a Subdomain, hence when you setup hosting on a provider (i.e Slicehost) they tell you to put www in the subdomain list (again if I am not mistaken). If you really want www.fourms.duckyetc you can set up a script to do some matching, i.e
if url contains www.fourms.ducketc then go to here else go somewhereelse
You have to create a cname for www.forums.duckyvideos.com and also configure your webserver to respond to that cname. There is nothing automatic about www prefixes on the web. It's just a convention that websites are accessible with or without the www. Everyone hosting a website has to explicitly set up a second cname for the www prefixed version of every site they put up.
