Hello
I am new to VestaCP and i love it, i want to do something like this for a sub domain
I have blog.domain.com
it should redirect to
blog.wordpress.com
I tried all possible ways in the panel for doing this but its not working, how to do this in VestaCP or in any other method?

Hi,
you can do it in the .htaccess file
1. in the blog.domain.com main directory create this file
(the dot at the beginning of compulsory)
in this file add:
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://blog.wordpress.com/$1 [R=301,L]
2. all this subdomains must exist in the panel

Hello
I tried, added the same code ( before this also i tried several times with the .htaccess file) but its not working
I had created the sub domain
www.blog.domain.com and then via ftp added this file in the public_html folder and tried in the browser but its not working

when adding a new domain add it like a subdomain for example sub.domain.com and it will create a new web folder for it... it should automatically configure your dns for you as well.. as long as your using the same ip address as the original domain.com no need to touch DNS records
I can confirm this works perfectly fine. you may have to wait for the domain to propagate.
