Redirect to my server?

This is the general section, so I don't care that this has absolutely nothing to do with ComputerCraft. I chose this forum because it has smart people on it who might know the answer.

So, I own a server called Forsaken Worlds, and I just got free web-hosting, and a .tk domain name (If you're interested, check out dot.tk for a free domain name, and 000webhost.com for free hosting). I want people to be able to join my server from server.forsakenworlds.tk. How do I do this? Do I need a PHP script? Is there a place in cPanel to do this? I understand if no one knows, I'll just sign up on some other forum somewhere.

Thanks!

You just set up your tk domain to go to your server. Theres an option for it in the dot.tk control panel.

I can't stand the dot.tk site. How do I make it so that only the sub-domain 'server' redirects?

This is a DNS level redirection: you're wanting to point server.forsakenworlds.tk to another server completely, and no level of scripting will do this for you. To do this, you'll need to point the A-Records of the DNS entries for server.forsakenworlds.tk to the server's IP address, and then wait up to 48 hours.

Well, 000webhost had me point the name-servers to them, how do I make it so only the subdomain "server" points to my IP?

Does dot.tk have a DNS control panel?

Somewhat, nothing too fancy, here's a screenie:

Apparently, I'm not using cPanel, I'm using their custom panel, if that matters.

Ah, see you'd have to add a new A record using the Dot Tk DNS panel, but then you'd loose the custom nameserver. Does 000webhost have a way to edit DNS?

From the looks of things, you do not have the ability to create or manipulate custom DNS records. You can possibly do some trickery with the DOT.TK level DNS, but I don't guarantee it would work.

They have the smallest control panel, I doubt it.

It's not the size of the panel, it's the level of control. As you can set A-records, why don't you set one up for the subdomain?

Sub-domains in 000webhost just redirect to a directory in the site. So if I do something like: http://forums.somesite.tk it will just redirect to the forums folder in the site. So there is no way to actually do it. Only way is to create a new domain with dot tk and have it point to the server.

Look a few posts up, I have screenshots of dot tk. I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Dot tk doesn't t allow DNS level sub domains I don't think. You can have a domain name pointed to an IP but doing that would stop you from using 000webhost

Dot TK only allows domain not sub-domains.

That's just my post reworded. In other words "dot tk doesn't allow sub domains"
