I have a question I've been searching around and so far not found a solution.

I have a domain that I bought, and on a private webserver I have my personal site, its not heavily used so I prefer having that one set up like that, easy for me to make small experiments with php code.

I set up an account here for a forum, that I currently host on said server, but I figured that I'd get a hosting plan for downtime concerns mainly... on my own comp/connection there's more likely to occur then on a hosting company.

Is there anyway to make only the subdomain parked in my x10hosting account?
If not, what would happen if I switch dns servers, can I still set my own IP for the other addies?

It's not that big a deal, if there's no other solution I'll just set up an redirect at my registrar, but for the sake of simplicity since there's a few forum members already using the subdomain of my private site I figured that I'd check if there's a way :)

Saw some thread about what I thought to be similar where a user had a dyndns free domain, apperantly he had put in the nameservers IP at dyndns (at least that's what it looks like to me in that thread, and its a closed issue so I must of have worked I thought), but when I try the same trick, it doesn't work, this is what I get as info to why I can't park it:
Error from park wrapper: Sorry, cannot determine nameserver IPs. Please make sure that the domain is registered with a valid domain registrar.

I've got the domain registered with a Swedish company called Loopia (where I also bought the domain)

EDIT: Might be of importance that I'm on ad-free plan

Okay, I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do. You want to point your domain to your subdomain here? I'm not understanding the part of parking your x10 subdomain.

I'm trying to park my subdomain ulc.annas-playground.info into ulc.exofire.net without changing nameservers

We could probably do that, you'd have to point the subdomain wherever your DNS is hosted now to the IP of the server.

Thanx, just tell me what IP I should use and I'll point the addy in the right direction

Might have to mess around with this one to get it to work; Do you know if you're able to point it to addresses also?

The IP is 70.87.51.250
