subdomain

I have a main site with a bunch of subdomains created. Each subdomain is a blog and I want each blog to have its own domain name i.e.

thisguy.com -> blog1.mainsite.com thatguy.com -> blog2.mainsite.com

I bought the new domains and I set up the CNAME records as above to alias them to the appropriate subdomains. However, I get my hosts "a domain is pointing to one of our servers but we don't know anything about it" landing page.

How can I set up these domains as aliases of my subdomains?
