How to host a secondary website on a subdomain?

[hushed hearth]

So I'm hosting a website www.example.com on port 80 and that is working fine. I am hosting another website on port 443. How would I go about creating a DNS record, test.example.com, for the website hosted on port 443?

How to host a secondary website on a subdomain?

[stark hearth]

you add the record

[hushed hearth]

I tried that it always redirects to the main website running on port 80

[stark hearth]

that's... not how subdomains work

[hushed hearth]

What record do I add then?

[stark hearth]

the same type that you use for www.example.com

[hushed hearth]

I'm using an A record, but whenever I tried to add an A record for test.example.com for the port 443 but it always redirects to www.example.com and port 80

[stark hearth]

then something is redirecting

[hushed hearth]

I know that but how do I get it to redirect to the correct port

[stark hearth]

Port 80 is for http traffic, 443 for https... this setup alone sounds... unconventional

i would highly recommend you use something like nginx to route requests based on hostname

Alternatively you can create a origin rule to redirect traffic to a specific port by hostname

I'm trying to host a maven repo at a different port that the main webserver but any port that I choose it always redirects traffic to the main webserver at port 80

[stark hearth]

ye once again, redirects don't happen on their own

[hushed hearth]

I chose port 443 because it was already forwarded on the host server

[hushed hearth]

well then how do I get it to redirect to a different port?

[stark hearth]

.

not sure if this is available for all plans

[hushed hearth]

I tried to create a origin rule but it comes up with error 1016

I created the A record for the subdomain but it's still redirecting to the main domain

Is it on the same server?

[hushed hearth]

yeah

Use something like NGINX with a reverse proxy then

Basically, you tell two servers to listen on port 80, but set the actual like web servers to listen internally on different ports (e.g. 150 and 151) and then you use NGINX with a reverse proxy to listen on port 80 twice but on different server names

okay that kind of makes sense thank you
