Bind the domain registered on other provider to the host of Godaddy.
Point 1: use the Godaddy’s nameserver and DNS.
Step 1: Go to Godaddy / My Domains / Add DNS Hosting / input your domain and Godaddy would generate the DNS settings for you.
The original value of A is Parked, which means the domain will point to the Godaddy’s website. You need to change the value to your host IP address.
Step 2: Go to your domain registrar, modify the nameservers to Godaddy’s and clean all other records.
Step 3: check namerserver proporgation with this link.
Bug Solvers:
- make sure your nameservers proporgate properly.
- make sure your domain’s A record is correct.
| A record | point to the IP address |
| CNAME | other names |
Domain names don’t refer to specific ports. They just refer to IP addresses.
You can certainly run a web server on port 8088 if you like. The port number would have to appear in the URL, e.g. http://somehost.example.com:8080/some/page
If you don’t want URLs to contain the port number, then requests are going to go to the default port 80
Virtual hosts
<VirtualHost sub.domain.com:80>
ProxyPass / https://ip-or-domain.com:8088/
</VirtualHost>
Set up the server for port 80 to be a reverse proxy for the second website.
