I'm wondering if this is possible and I'm not sure that it is. Before I explain, I found one other post [here]: Separate Domain Registrar and Host, possible to use CDN? which sounds similar to my problem, but I specifically don't want to point the Name Servers away. I only mention this because my question is going to sound very similar.
So I'm trying to help a friend who has a Domain Name registered on Site A (let's assume it's a place like Wix). He also has a hosting package on Site B (to have cpanel access for a site he had built with HTML & PHP).
for example:
1. www.yourdomain.com is hosted on Wix with a template website
2. "database" is a cpanel folder on Site B
Is there a way to have www.yourdomain.com/database link to the "database" folder on Site B's hosting -- without changing the Name Servers?
I don’t believe you can point a directory to a completely different server or hosting package.
However creating a sub domain instead could be your answer.
Is there anything stopping you from using database.yourdomain.com and creating an A record for this in your domain registrar and point it to the hosting package of database?
