将子域重定向到另一个域的文件夹中

Question

I'm trying to redirect one subdomain (a wordpress.com domain) into a folder of another domain. Example:

blog.domain.com to anotherdomain.com/blog

I know that is possible by using .htacces files, but i dont have a hosting service on my first domain.

Is it possible to do it by using DNS?

I have tried by creating some A and CNAME registrations but I cant find a way to do it: Can I have a ip for a specific folder of my second domain?

Thanks :)

I attempted to do a comment but it's too much. You can do this if you own both domains. If you don't have hosting on the first domain but you do on the other domain , then you can add the main domain as an ServerAlias on the other server.

Either through your control panel or your vhost config do the following.

1. Add an A record for blog.domain.com in DNS pointing to the IP address of the other domain with the hosting account.
2. In the configuration of the web server with the hosting add a ServerAlias of blog.domain.com to the anotherdomain.com vhost config.
3. in the root of the anotherdomain.com put this code inside your .htaccess file.

If you want it to actually redirect then you can do this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://anotherdomain.com/blog/$1 [R=301,L]

If you don't want it to redirect and keep blog.domain.com in the address bar then, you can do this.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L]
