Point Sub-Domain to different IP Address 

Sub-domain is a part of website that is created to navigate visitors to other parts of the website. It is like a extension present in the main domain. It allows user to divide website into different sections. The universal sub-domain is www which is used in all websites. Sub-domain is different from add-on domain so I've created an article to describe the difference between the two.
With the help of sub-domain user can easily navigate visitors to multiple pages of the website and manage the contents as well. Now, a question arises, how many subdomains can be created by a website owner? So, the answer of this question is very simple. A user can create multiple sub-domains as per the requirement but sometimes it depends upon the service provider from which you have taken the hosting services. This is because, every service provider has their own plans and features so this can be vary accordingly. If I talk about my experience, then I'm using the hosting services of REDSERVERHOST, wherein I've enough features to manage the website and its content.
Today, in this article I'm sharing the detailed procedure to point sub-domain to different IP Address.
