Delegate subdomain to Netlify

Support
1

Hi,

I have to link my site in netlify to an external sub-domain. I only want to link the sub-domain, not the whole domain. I have read the instructions netlify provides but I have a doubt.

When I add the sub-domain DNS to my netlify site do I have to add all the DNS or only the sub-domain ones?
When this is done the only thing left is to change my sub-domain’s name servers to my assigned custom hostnames in netlify, right?

Thanks a lot for the help!

HI @c17,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to Netlify’s Support Forums!

You can delegate a stand alone subdomain with Netlify DNS by following our doc here:

In the docs, docs.example.com is used as an example. Using the subdomain as the example, you would go to your account’s Domains page, add a domain and enter docs.example.com. You would then verify, then if everything checks out, you would add the subdomain. You’ll then continue and get a list of 4 Name servers to add at your registrar.

At your registrar you would create name server records for the subdomain (docs.example.com using the example subdomain) and use the Netlify name servers. You may need to reach out to your registrar on how to add the name servers for the subdomain.
