I want to host my API application in a separate server and route it through subdomain fo example api.example.com. My domain is hosted at HostGator. I have created a subdomain and redirect it to the API server by providing the IP address.
The application is written in Codeigniter for RestAPI. Whenever I call any API method by referring the subdomain it shows 404 error (api.example.com/myclass/myfunction), but if I access the same API using a direct link (192.0.2.1/myclass/myfunction) by providing the IP address of the server, it is returning correct result.
Please suggest any configuration change needed.
You can add A record on sub domain, if application is hosted on port 80.
You can simply add A RECORD as
192.0.2.1 api.example.com
You should have option to create DNS zone on hostgator.

We are going multi-region for our project and there is a need for us to use an Azure traffic manager to route traffic to each region. Our setup looks like below where our app gateway is exposed via a public IP which I used to configure on the Azure Traffic Manager.
My issue is when I hit the traffic manager URL it give me an SSL cert error, while if I hit the App gateway URL directly it works fine on HTTPS. Looking at the below error I know I need to configure the traffic manager certificate and my question is
Is this needs to be configured somewhere in the traffic manager? OR
DO we need to configure this in the application gateway and change the app gateway ingress in Kubernetes with and also use traffic manager certificate there?
• The traffic manager works at the DNS level, thus as the DNS records pointing to the traffic manager’s public URL aren’t setup correctly, you are getting this error when browsing the traffic manager’s URL. Also, when you are accessing the application gateway URLs independently, they are being accessed successfully as the URLs for the application gateways are hosted on the Azure DNS and independent public IPs are also allotted against their DNS records. Thus, appropriate DNS records to route the DNS access request for the traffic manager’s website need to be updated.
• Since you are using multi region setup in Azure with load balancing features, I am considering that your custom domain and its DNS records are setup in Azure itself. And the URLs for the application gateway are setup as separate endpoints in the form of subdomains in the custom DNS record setup itself. Thus, when you browse the application gateway URLs according to the custom domain URL setup, you can access the application page correctly. With respect to the traffic manager, you will need to create a CNAME record pointing from your custom domain to the ‘*.trafficmanager.net’ domain, while also creating a CNAME record pointing from your custom domain to your generic application gateway URLS.
• Once done, create A host records for each application gateway endpoint pointing to the public IP address assigned by Azure to them. After doing the above, your traffic manager URL should be able to route and redirect the application access requests correctly.

I have gotten into making web pages with apache/nginx and I want to know whats the best way to have either a proxy or a VPN setup so whenever anyone points at my domain they won't get my IP so easily
The Domain should auto change the IP if it sees any changes so that shouldn't be a problem
I wanted to make a proxy list into a file and use it but I haven't really find a way yet
Any Suggestions?
You can set up a reverse proxy with nginx and apache i.e. when someone tryies to access your website by typing in your domain, their web browser will query a domain name server to get the IP address associated with you're domain. Their web browser will then send a request to your nginx server IP which will then in turn send a request via reverse proxy to your apache server IP where the physical web page files are located. Apache IP address returns the requested web page files to nginx IP address and nginx in turn returns the requested web page files to the client IP address.
We have a domain name (e.g https://example.org) that hosts a website, and we want to have a subdomain (https://app.example.org) that will run a certain service.
That service is a different website that resides on a totally
different server.
I have added an "A" Record in the domain's DNS that points the
subdomain to the IP of the other server.
When trying to access "https://app.example.org", I get a warning
message saying that this website is not secure (normal http works)
Accessing the top-level domain via HTTPS works normally.
What needs to be done in-order to have the subdomain secured when using an "A" Record?
Is it something that needs to be done on the new server or in the domain's cPanel?
Thank you for any help.
You will have to make sure that your SSL certificate is wildcard certificate and Certificate is also installed on other server as well, where you are pointing your subdomain.
I currently have an API setup at
http://public_static_IP:5000/api/parameters (POST requests).
I have bought a domain from NameCheap and hosted in GoDaddy, also added SSL from Cloudflare.
I have created a URL Redirect of a subdomain(http://www.web.domain.com) to http://public_static_IP:5000, which is a webpage and it is working fine.
I did the same with another subdomain(http://www.api.domain.com) to API endpoint which is an only POST request, so when I add all parameters and send a post request to this subdomain it is giving Method not allowed.
This is very important for us as users will always be using this API service and we don't want any downtime(sometimes ISP will be down), if ISP is down we want to temporarily route to some cloud service(AWS or Google Cloud) without asking users to change their base URL always.
Thanks in advance.
We are developing a new website for a client on Wordpress (Apache). Their current website is an ASP solution hosted on an IIS server.
Our client does not have access to the IIS host (he is not paying for it, and he doesn't even know the account it's being hosted on). He wishes to keep the old website for reference.
We have the domain registrar information and can update the DNS/IP information accordingly.
We have ordered a new Apache server for the new Wordpress site. Is it possible to do the following via .htaccess on the new host (assuming we change the DNS to point to the new host)?
direct all traffic to the new host with the wordpress website
redirect only a specific IP to the old host containing the ASP website
Is this even possible? Any help would be appreciated.
