The DNS settings do not include the option for redirection, as this is a configuration that must be set up on the web server side. The specific methods and settings for this may vary depending on the type of web hosting and web server being used.

In some cases, hosting sites will offer a feature to configure redirects within the control panel settings. Alternatively, changes to a specific file in the web server's code may be required to enable redirection, depending on the hosting service. It is important to consider these factors when configuring website redirects to ensure proper functionality. Consulting with a web developer or support team may also be helpful in identifying the most effective approach for your hosting and server setup.

An NS record (Authoritative name server) is an essential component of a domain's DNS settings, pointing to the servers responsible for storing resource records related to the domain. The number of NS records must match the total number of servers that are serving the domain, in order to ensure proper functionality of the DNS service.

Another important record in DNS settings is the PTR record, which associates the IP address of the server with its canonical domain name. This reverse DNS record is primarily used for mail filtering purposes. For virtual hosting servers, REG.EN automatically registers the reverse DNS records. However, when utilizing VPS or dedicated servers, it may be necessary to configure the PTR records manually.

Additionally, the SOA (Start of Authority) record serves as the initial record for the zone and identifies the server that stores reference information about the domain name. It is crucial for proper operation of the DNS service. These three DNS records are fundamental in ensuring efficient and effective domain name system management.

To configure or modify domain records to achieve the objective of displaying the domain page somedomen.com/some-page/ with all design styles upon transferring to a domain named some-subdomen.any.com, you would need to follow these general steps:

1. Set up the necessary DNS records: First, you need to configure the DNS records for the domain some-subdomen.any.com. This typically involves creating an "A" record or a "CNAME" record, depending on your configuration needs. Point the record to the IP address or domain of the server where somedomen.com is hosted.

2. Configure server settings: On the server hosting somedomen.com, you may need to update its configuration to recognize requests coming from some-subdomen.any.com. This could involve updating virtual host configurations, rewriting rules, or any other appropriate server settings. Ensure that the server knows how to handle requests for the subdomain and forward them to the correct location.

3. Preserve design styles and assets: If the design styles of somedomen.com are stored in a separate location (like CSS files), ensure that these resources are accessible from the new subdomain. Update any HTML code or website templates referencing these assets to use relative paths or update the URLs to reflect the new subdomain structure.

4. Test and troubleshoot: Once the configuration changes are made, test the setup thoroughly. Verify that accessing some-subdomen.any.com/some-page/ correctly displays the page with the desired design styles. Check for any broken links, missing assets, or issues that may have arisen due to the domain transfer.

Keep in mind that specific steps might vary based on your web server, DNS provider, and the infrastructure supporting somedomen.com. It's always recommended to consult relevant dоcumentation or seek assistance from your hosting provider or DNS provider if needed.

details you may find useful when configuring or modifying domain records to achieve the desired objective:

1. SSL/TLS configuration: If somedomen.com uses HTTPS and has an SSL/TLS certificate, you'll need to ensure that the same certificate is configured for the new subdomain, some-subdomen.any.com. This typically involves updating the server's SSL/TLS configuration and ensuring a valid certificate is associated with the new subdomain.

2. DNS propagation: Keep in mind that DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours for the changes to take effect globally. During this propagation period, different users may see different results when accessing the subdomain. Be patient and allow sufficient time for the changes to propagate.

3. Content management systems (CMS): If the content of somedomen.com is managed through a CMS like WordPress, you may need to update relevant settings within the CMS. This could involve changing the site URL, updating permalinks, or configuring any plugins or themes to work with the new subdomain.

4. Consider redirecting old URLs: If you want to redirect the old URLs from somedomen.com/some-page/ to the new subdomain, you can set up redirects on the server level. This ensures that visitors accessing the old URLs are automatically redirected to the corresponding URLs on the new subdomain.

5. Monitor for issues: After completing the configuration changes, regularly monitor the website for any potential issues. Check for broken links, ensure all assets are loading correctly, and test different scenarios to make sure everything is functioning as expected.

To display the page some-domen.com/some-page/ on some-subdomen.any.com with all design styles intact, you need to set up a proper redirect and ensure assets are correctly linked. First, implement a 301 redirect from some-domen.com/some-page/ to some-subdomen.any.com/some-page/. This will maintain SEO juice and direct traffic seamlessly. Next, check your CSS and JavaScript links; they should be absolute URLs pointing to the correct resources. If you're using a CMS, ensure that the base URL is updated to reflect the new subdomain.

To get info from another domain name, you use DNS records such as:

A record (IP address)

MX record (mail servers)

NS record (name servers)

CNAME record (alias)

TXT record (text info, SPF, DKIM)
