How do I setup a subdomain on a second server?

I have two servers with different hosting companies.

eg. mydomain.com with hosting #1

I would like to setup subdomain.mydomain.com with hosting #2

How can this be done? What's the process? In terms of DNS and records configuration.

I'm using unmanaged hosting, and I'll need to know the workflow.

Hi there,

First, you set up the webhosting part at hosting #2 for the domain name subdomain.mydomain.com,
so the webserver will serve content for that domain. Then, you'll have to set up a DNS entry at hosting #1
to let the entry subdomain.mydomain.com ponit to the IP of the box you run at hosting #2.

That should be all.

I know the overall big picture, but I'll need a more detail walk through of how this is done in terms on configuration. I do have a second IP assigned to me on hosting #2.

1. setting up the subdomain at hosting #2 in apache and configurating IP association with that subdomain, how?

2. how to setup a DNS entry at hosting #1.

Web Servers

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
