Hi There

I have a domain "example.com" setup within ISPManager. I have successfully setup a SSL certificate for the domain. I also have a subdomain "billing.example.com" setup, which works fine. As the SSL certificate for "example.com" doesn't cover subdomains, I'm looking to place "billing.example.com" on a different IP address so that the subdomain can have it's own SSL certificate.

When I transfer the subdomain onto a different IP address, whenever I try to access the subdomain I am presented with the content of the "example.com" domain, instead of the "billing.example.com" content. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I've checked that the DNS A record is mapped to the new IP.


Regards

Tom

You change the record in the DNS, but DNS cache is not updated immediately. While not updated DNS cache you connect to the server at the old IP-address (this can be checked using the command ping domain.name). So you can see a completely different site's content, not the content that you want to see.
