Default Sending sub domain to a different server

I want to direct a subdomain of my website hosted here to a german server. I already have some hosting there and am translating some of my website to german so it makes sense to me for Search Engine Optimization reasons to have that sub domain hosted over there.

Is this possible and if so, how do I do it? Thanks.

Yes, this is possible. What you need to do is to provide us the IP of your German server so that we can have it setup as the 'A' record of your subdomain.
ie: so when anyone pings the domain or browses it, it'd go to your German server.
Or you can have the sub-domain forwarded through .htaccess or through a simple PHP script. Please open up a ticket & this will be done within few mins for sure

Hello,

If you do it with the scripts as Rock said, then there would not be a problem of setting but an hosting for the subdomain on a german server. But if you use the A record method then you will need to make sure that you have a hosting (Virtual Host Entry) for that subdomain on the german server.

Thanks for your speedy replies. It's a lot simpler than I thought.
