Redirect a domain from Cloudflare to a subdomain

[taisa]

Hi!

I bought a domain on Cloudflare, and now wanted to try to use it by redirecting it to a subdomain of another domain.

I created the cname from www to non www, and a cname to redirect to the subdomain.

But it doesn’t work. It says " Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server."

Thanks

It’s easier to do a redirect using this tutorial:

Redirecting One Domain to Another

This tutorial covers redirecting one domain to another. For this, we will be redirecting domainA.com to domainB.com. The following settings need to be configured under the domain you are redirecting from, in this example, this is domainA.com Step 1, The DNS Record: The first thing you will need is a DNS record for @, www and any other subdomains you want to redirect, set to . This can point to any IP address as the redirection page rule will execute first. I would recommend pointing…

But I don’t want to redirect to another domain. I want to create a new website with the domain I bought, so I create it on a subdomain of another domain I own, and use my new domain.

I don’t want to redirect to another domain

Sorry, your original question mentioned Redirect several times.

If you want some other site to respond to a different hostname via a CNAME, then that other site needs to be configured to do so. Some hosts even let you add multiple hostnames to a single site. You would need to ask your host how to do this.

Ok, so the problem must be on the destination domain?

I didn’t know the right word, if it is redirect or not, but it is from new domain (on cloudflare) from a subdomain in another host. I guess is what you said, the settings here are alright with the cname, but the destination domain doesn’t allow it.
