    x10hosting as a subdomain & .htaccess

    I'll have to see if I can explain what I'm doing clearly enough with random domain names and such. I'm trying to figure out some DNS/domain concepts. I know the basics, but I haven't done much with sub-domains.

    It's theoretical to see what's possible.
    I also know that I can just have all the files and such transferred over (and get help for it) but assume that I don't want to, yet. It'll be easier to assume that both are on x10 with the cPanel; I know that we can only have one account.

    Say that...
    New domain & different server: test.com
    Old location/File & page repository: test.x10hosting.com

    Is it possible to set it up so that test.com/old/ reads everything from test.x10hosting.com? (So, test.com/x10/stuff would be reading from test.x10hosting.com/stuff.) What would I need to modify to do that?

    If that's possible, how do I add the .htaccess redirect (or something else?) for test.x10hosting.com/ to test.com/old/ without messing with file access (since test.com/x10/ is reading from it)?

    Hello, I don't know how to do that?

    But I will suggest you to take backup(you can compress and download your files using cPanel file manager) of your one account and ask for deletion of it.This will delete your x10 subdomain associated with it too, then you can add this subdomain in your another account.This is more legal and easy way to do this.

    If by "different server" you mean different computers (and the files aren't on a shared drive), it's not possible. The Apache web server can only serve up. If you mean "different sites, hosted under different accounts", it's not possible with the current set-up as global access is disallowed for home directories, for security purposes. You can only serve files from different sites under the same account.

When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.

    I was thinking that it sounded strange... thanks for clarifying that part .

    How would it be done with different domains under the same account?
