 How would i get a host to redirect to an IP address?
Well, recently i've been thinking about my server. I just bought a .com domain + hosting with unlimited subdomains. Now i want to make a game host like game.example.com
i'm not going to mention my server name in case of advertising -1's :P but yeah like Apollos server (EE) has it and i really want one. I tryed looking for redirects to IP address but couldn't find it. I'm using hosting24 host service.
Thanks :)

Re: How would i get a host to redirect to an IP address?
Well just try to understand what I'm trying to say as best as you can:
if your website ex: hello-you.com
is getting redirected to your ip ex: 75.135.139.90
then it should work as your ip I'm assuming then you create a subdomain for the website game.hello-you.com and that is redirected to your ip also which means that
game.hello-you.com should work as your ip for your server
and your domain(hello-you.com) should work as well.

The hosting server uses a random IP not mine so i cant just setup a domain like that and it would be ready.

well buy a domain where you can set the re direct to your own ip.
I recommend 1and1.com.

Try creating a CNAME.
If you don't know how, click "Specific instructions for popular domain hosts" on this page:
http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=47283
This should give you the general idea of how it should be done, if not just reply with your host name and someone else or myself will help you figure it out.

CNAME is a bad idea. Use an A record to point to an IP address, CNAME is for a totally different purpose.
