I created a subdomain for my blog that is hosted for free on another host without any support for domains. Now I see that there is created a directory with the name "blog" in my Gethost account. But I'm not intented to install my blog in that directory for reasons of webspace.

How do I point my subdomain to my blog? Normally you can add redirects in your DNS management but at Gethost it isn't clear to me how to do that.

Or do I have to put the redirect in the metatags of the indexpage of the subdomain directory at Gethost?

Thanks for some help.

DirectAdmin can't do it unless you've created the subdomain as a full domain, but you can do it manually with a custom .htaccess (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/howto/htaccess.html) file (apache.org).
