Hello, This is my example IP"s and configuration below I have cPanel on server1.domain.com And setup nameservers: ns1.domain.com IP 123.123.123.100 ns2.domain.com IP 123.123.123.101 I setup in my registrar google domains to use my nameservers instead of googles. ns1 ns2 for domain2.com This domain2.com is my main website in cPanel Now I need to add another server server2.domain.com And 2 sub domains on another server: (This is for another program that requires Ubuntu OS ) The sub domains need to be Chat.domain2.com Video.domain2.com Would I go to my registrar and add: ns3.domain.com new ip for Ubuntu ns4.domain.com new up for Ubuntu At my domain.com Then add in domain2.com ns3 ns4 And add chat.domain2.com new IP Video.domain2.com new IP in domain2.com And it should work ? Thanks if someone can point me in the right direction Spiro

  If you host your domain name (i.e domain.com and domain2.com) on your server(s) then yes you would need to update the nameservers accordingly and once the propagation done, any subdomains you create under domain.com and domain2.com will be working automatically.

  Hi. So domain2.com will reside in cPanel server but sub1.domain2.con and sub2.domain2.com would reside in Ubuntu server. So what I"ve outlined above should work this way Sorry for double checking Thanks again for your reply

  As long as the DNS records point to the correct system I'd expect it to work just fine.

  One last question Do I need to use 2 different ip"s one for each sub.domain.com or can I use only 1 IP for both sub domains ? thank you

  There's no reason you would have to use a unique IP address for each subdomain. Much like the local server, the remote system will handle the traffic based on the Apache vhost entries even if they all point to the same IP address.
