how can i make a new domain name that has it’s own mysql and redirects to a different ip than the main domain, let me give you an example:

i have domain.com that goes to 1.1.1.1
i want to create dev.domain.com that goes to 1.1.1.2
and be able to create a cpanel for itself.

is that possible?
or which will be best way to create a dev subdomain?

thanks

If you just want to develop a site without working on the live site, why not do it on your own computer?

You can add an entry to your hosts file to point http://dev/ to your own computer, or whatever you want to call it.

Download WAMP/XAMPP/MAMP to install Apache, PHP and MySQL in one go.

Hello
thanks, however sometimes i need the client to be able to see what are we doing.
That’s why i don’t want to work local.

thanks though

Just create this subdomain the standard way, and modify it’s A NAME record to point to any IP you need.

If you have access to WHM, you could create domain.com then create dev.domain.com. When you’re ready to swap dev.domain.com with domain.com, you can use the Modify an Account feature in WHM to modify the accounts’ username and primary domain.
