I want to accomplish something that I thought was simple. My wish is as follows:
I have a domainname with hosting, a WordPress multisite (with subfolder setup) installed and running: gangleri.nl.
I have another domain at another host and without hosting: monas.nl
I created a subdomain on gangleri.nl: monas.gangleri.nl and the domain redirects to that subdomain.
Now what I want is to have monas.nl act like a website, not a website in a subdomain. I would like to have post urls as in monas.nl/posttitle.
I first thought to do this with the DNS settings of Monas.nl. I now have an URL forward, CURL is not what I want and I did not manage to get A-records or CNAMEs to work.
I tried using the htaccess file of the WP installation in monas.gangleri.nl. I tried 301, rewrite and whatnot, but also without success.
Meanwhile, I have been reading so much that I no longer have a clue what to do. A-record doesn't sound probable, since I have no IP for the subdomain, so an A-record would point to gangleri.nl rather than using the subdomain.
Also I have no idea if I should do something in the DNS settings of gangleri.nl or monas.nl, both, one of them and something somewhere else.
I have the idea that I've tried everything, but the more I try and read about it, the less I can get my head around. People talking about A-records to subdomains while I can only use IPs, CNAME settings that my host doesn't support or something.
Could somebody tell me if what I want is possible and if so, take me by the hand and guide me through it?
