The domain owner of tempotechcontrols.com updated DNS records for tempotechcontrols.com to redirect it to tempotechcontrols.ca however, it's not working for the past 2-3 days.
tempotechcontrols.com is hosted on the local server of the domain owner.
tempotechcontrols.ca is hosted on one.com hosting provider.
Any kind of help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

My problem is I have created a subdomain successfully on my website through cpanel and also put an index.html file in it to test it. But when I run it in browser it is not showing contents of index.html file. It shows following errors:
DNS address could not be found and ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED errors. Can someone please tell me how to resolve this problem?
You must be missing A record pointing to your sub domain in your domain panel.
Record Point to TTL
A sub 300
Please check the DNS servers for your domain. You might be using external DNS servers. When you create a subdomain on cPanel, a DNS entry is created in the DNS zone for that subdomain pointing to your server ip. If your domain uses external DNS servers then those servers will be queried to find the ip address for that subdomain. In this case you should manually edit your DNS zone and add an A record for that subdomain to point to your server's ip).
Thanks for all the answers. Here is how solved my problem. The problem was that I have purchased a hosting with one domain name. I also have another domain purchase but there is no hostng on it. I had pointed the second domain to first domain which also has hosting support. So what I was doing is I was creating subdomain on second one on the first domain. But it was not recognising it and showing DNS problem. So I made an entry A record entry in the second domain about the subdomain which I wanted to create on it. And then in 5 minutes DNS was updated and issue was resolved.
After adding the subdomain, go to the DNS editor of the domain and add a CNAME record for the subdomain.
For example:
NAME TYPE VALUE
--------------------------------------------------
subdomain.example.com. CNAME example.com.
I have two hosting accounts (Personal one and a work one). I am doing some testing and would like to create a subdomain of a work domain (manage.domain.com) and host it on my personal account. Currently, my personal host is through 1and1 and is dedicated while the work one is shared with GoDaddy.
Work
I have gone into go daddy and created the subdomain. I have also added DNS records such as A, AAAA AND NS (i did not record a CNAME). I have noticed that if is type manage.domain.com it is redirecting to my personal server. However, it is directing to the blank admin page of the root of the server (which is maintained using Plesk).
Personal
Using Plesk I added the website (domain.com) and created the subdomain (manage.domain.com). I have also updated the websites hosting access using Plesk and assigned it the default values of my personal account. Using Plesk I also set the subdomain to the particular location of the files I want to test. However, I cannot get my server to recognize the address and redirect it to the proper location.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can just create:
in personal account domain(not subdomain) manage.domain.com
on domain.com add DNS record of type A, name "manage" and IP address of personal hosting:
After that "manage.domain.com" will resolving to hosting of your personal account and can be accessed because such domain exists.
I figured it out
What i did above was correct expect do not change the name servers on the work DNS(godaddy).
Add the website to plesk - it will give you an error about not being able to control the DNS settings which you have already adjusted on the original server (godaddy)
Add a subdomain of the website.
*** Ensure the subdomain is pointed to the correct folder within your server
Done
I'm somewhat new to this problem so sorry if this is an obvious question. I am building a website for a client which is hosted on Heroku. The client previously had the old website hosted on HostGator. The Domain name was purchased from GoDaddy. The client has a custom email domain (ex. #client.ca). Today I transferred the new website domain from HostGator to Heroku, and everything seems to be working well except the emails. The "#client.ca" emails no longer work. From what I gather, I have to point Heroku towards the Host Gator IP Address in order for the emails to work. I'm not exactly sure how to do this. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks!
You need a DNS service like dnsmadeeasy or others mentioned on heroku. From there you need to distribute the different records, e.g. ANAME and CNAME to heroku, CNAME to external asset hosts like cloudfront, MX (and A) to email host.
Am myself in the process of dealing with the "email problem":
(easier) The registrar (domain name provider) offers email hosting, but does not offer ANAME or ALIAS records (common): You can point the nameservers to the DNS service and then point the email back to your registrar. Found registrars quite helpful in general with helping if you need config details.
(more annoying) The registrar does not offer email hosting in the first place or has an all or nothing policy re nameservers (everything with them, or nothing with them, like e.g. easily). In this case you have to find an independent email host. Any recommendations? The setup is analogue.
(perfect) Your registrar offers ANAME or ALIAS records and email hosting. Lucky you!
We are hosting email with a hosted exchange provider so it is separate from the website.
The domain is registered with 123 reg and the nameservers are pointing to a server where the web files and database sit. From our control panel we have configured the appropriate MX/DNS entries to point the email to the hosted exchange server.
If our server went down where our website sits, will our email go down too because the MX records and DNS entries are hosted on this server?
Thanks
It depends. DNS is usually cached, so any email server that recently sent you a message and the TTL hasn't expired, should be able to reach you. Any new requests could go unanswered.
That being said, what I described will not provide any reliable redundancy. The best solution is to have another authoritative dns server in a separate location in case your server goes down.
It sounds like you're worried about missing messages. If your downtime isn't more than 24 hours you should be ok. Most email servers will try several times to send a message before it's returned.
I have those domains (fictious names) :
www.myponey.ca
www.unicorn.ca
www.unicorn.com
All active in cPanel Accelerated 2. The main domain in cPanel is www.myponey.ca and what I'd like to do is:
being able to use emails in the cPanel for the first 2 domains
having www.unicorn.ca point to a server on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
creating a subdomain like magical.unicorn.ca that point to a server on AWS
redirect www.unicorn.com to www.unicorn.ca
I started with creating add-on domains but ran into many problems, I'm not sure this is the right way to go now. Not even sure if this can be done in cPanel.
With the help of my hosting company, we we're able to solve all issues. Had to add 1 more add-on domain, had to change the MX Entry in email and some changes in Advanced Zone Editor for some of the domains. If anyone is having the same problem, contact your hosting company! It can all be done
