Hey Everyone, here is my question, I hope someone out there can help. First of all, godaddy is my hosting provider and domain registrar. So, what I am trying to do, is map one domain (mikemartin.me) to a subdomain of my other domain (me.mikemartinracing.com). I know its complicated, but it is what I want to do. WordPress is installed on the me.mikemartinracing.com domain. What I am essentially trying to do it set it up to use the mikemartin.me domain but the mikemartinracing.com hosting. I tried to do this with a hosted wordpress blog, but you have to pay to map domain (laaame). I had the domain mapped to my tumblr account for a while, so I know its possible, I'm just having trouble getting this working.

I thought you could do that in your domain registration section at godaddy?

Posted 3 years ago #Mike, did you find a solution? I too have the same problem. I currently have WP installed at mysite.com. My domain is registered at godaddy. I added a cname for subdomain.mysite.com to point to mysite.com. The alias is working, as I can do host subdomain.mysite.com and it tells me it is pointing to mysite.com. However, when I try to view subdomain.mysite.com in the browser, I get a 403 error.
