IP Address for Sub Domain
DIR By: mtee82

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I have an existing website at url www.pangyao.hk (hosted on
Heroku). Currently, my forum url is pangyaohk.createaforum.com,
but I would like to create a new subdomain and change it to
forum.pangyao.hk.
My hosting provider has advised that I can create a new
subdomain through the control panel, but said that I require the
IP address of my forum in order to create it. Are you able to
provide this please? They advised me not to change the
nameservers as it may disrupt my main pangyao.hk site (which I
don't want).
Thanks

Thanks! A couple of further questions:
- Is it possible to set up as secure https? Currently it is
only http which I think may put people off from signing up as it
shows as not secure
- Is it possible to set up links for both forum.pangyao.hk AND
www.forum.pangyao.hk? Do I need to set up a separate record
with my hosting provider for this and are you able to link it if
I do?

Hi,
Further to my additional questions below, after further checking
there seems to be a problem with the new url linking. Although
forum.pangyao.hk successfully brings me to the home page, when I
click on any of the boards, nothing happens (i.e. it just stays
on the same page and doesn't link to the board). Can you please
check and advise?
Thanks

Https possible but it starts at $50 a url for us to order and
setup ssl
I wouldn't do both forum and www that could cause issues

OK thanks... If I did want to arrange that, how long does it
take and how should I arrange? Do I just let you know on here?

For SSL click under forum upgrades. And there is a couple
options for SSL in terms of length.
