Hello, not sure if the title is right but I have this question.

Is it possible to show my domain.x10host.com content to my sub.testdomain.com?

The DNS server of testdomain.com settings is cloudflare DNS.

I want to achieve this.
- show content of domain.x10host.com with I type sub.testdomain.com without using the dns settings of x10host. Is this possible? I tried but it says "document root not found".


Setup:
I will create a personal blog for android products reviews and I have a Fully qualified domain name, I will be creating a CNAME android.testdomain.com on my cloudflare dns tab and point it to x10host.com. I want to set up this way so I can cache resources using cloudflare this will minimize x10hosting server load right?

How to do that? Do you allow this?

Thank you for the reply,

I don't want to use the
  • ns1.x10hosting.com
  • ns2.x10hosting.com
as my main domain's dns setttings, I am using cloudflares DNS settings below.
  • adel.ns.cloudflare.com
  • jim.ns.cloudflare.com
I have tried this approach:
On my x10hosting cpanel I created a simple dns entry. See below.

CNAME: about.cloudwhen.x10host.com -> about.cloudwhen.com

and on my cloudflares dns settings I have this entries; see may attachment photo

Basically when I typed the about.cloudwhen.com, cloudflare must get the content of about.cloudwhen.x10host.com but what happens is that I got an error saying "Document root not found". So I think the problem is with x10host.com. Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually I tried this yesterday and it works, it went well. I got to see the test page correctly but then after a few hours I got the
error saying "Document root not found".
