cname

I have the exact same problem as this but I don't understand the solution.

I have 2 different domain name(with different hosting/provider) domain-one.com and domain-two.com which I want sub.domain-one.com to point to sub.domain-two.com using CNAME. All have been setup and propagate correctly but now when I go to sub.domain-one.com it goes to basic page of the server. If I go directly to sub.domain-two.com the page load correctly.

I've tried to add the subdomain using Addon Domains on cPanel but the problem persist.

Can a CNAME be a hostname

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
This is bit of a theological question, but nonetheless... So, a server has a hostname, let's say the fqdn is hostname.example.com (to be really precise about what I mean, this is the name that is set in /etc/sysconfig/network). The very same server has multiple interfaces on different subnets. Let's… >>> More
