Hi, I would like to create subdomains that forward to a different URL. My domain provider provided this but since moving to NetlifyDNS I am not sure how to go about it. I want to create a domain like v1.blog.com and redirect it to some place like website.com/where-things-used-to-be/. Because I am …

Hi @josephrexme The post you linked to it the only option. You would need to add the subdomain to a site (main site or another Netlify site) as a custom domain/custom domain alias a configure redirects.

Sry for thebquestion but iam new on netlify. On namecheap tat all was very easy so i can create a completely new page with discord.maindomain.…

Correct @VidarDev , you deploy a completely new site and configure discord.maindomain.com as the custom domain. You do not change anything to do with maindomain.com or the site it is attached to. There is no need for a branch. You can deploy this site using Drag and Drop .

You are using drag and drop? If so it will never deploy as per this guide so you will need to deploy again.
