Creating DNS record for twitter.mydomain.com > twitter.com/profile
-
Hello folks,
In an effort to try and handle some of my traffic a little better, I’d like to set some basic services at the top level domain, namely fb.discomcdisco.com, twitter.discomcdisco.com, reddit.discomcdisco.com …
I’m not sure if this is possible on .com hosted blogs, but it would be hugely useful for me to be able to do this.
Simple use case, using my verified website to redirect annotations on youtube to services I care about.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Would it be possible to do this another way, like discomcdisco.com/twitter > redirect > Twitter.com/profile?
I believe 301’s can be done per post/page on .org, but sure for .com

Hi, you could setup a custom CNAME record to map twitter.discomdisco.com to twitter.com, but that would only work for the domain itself, not a specific page like twitter.com/your-username.
The normal way to handle this would be with a server- or application-layer 301 redirect like you mentioned, but unfortunately that’s not something we support on WordPress.com.
If you decide that you’d like to migrate to a WordPress.org site in order to get that level of customization, we have an article that provides some guidance at http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org. We also offer many of our features to WordPress.org users for free via the Jetpack plugin (http://jetpack.me).
I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help, but please let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything else I can do.

Hey Ian,
Thank you for replying. The cost of moving to .org is a little prohibitive for me right now, hence not doing it yet ;)
I am interested in doing so if my circumstances change, at which point I’ll use the migration support option to make it as simple as possible :)
