Question:
Is it possible to forward a subdomain like discord.mydonain.com to a Discord invite link like Two Geeks One Cup ?
I guess since the code behind the slash is necessary and CNAME entries can only direct to a domain directly this is not possible? Any other option?
Best,
Dan

As you guessed, DNS records only direct to IPs, and Discord invite links are full URL with their path being the unique part
You could use redirects, setting up pages on your site that direct the user to the Discord server, but that wouldn’t be using the subdomain
It may be possible though, to host your Wix site on both the main and the subdomain, then using code, check which subdomain (hostname) visitors are using when they enter, and if it is the discord one, send them away to the invite link
It is quite a hassle though, I would not recommend
Thank you.. yes, I guess I will stick with a simple menu-item and button and direct everyone to my main-page instead… before I had to adjust the nameservers for WIX I could do a simple forward via Hover (my domain provider) which worked fine - but since DNS runs via WIX now that function is dead. Maybe WIX could implement sth like this in the future…
You could always move the domain to a different registry if you want their features, Wix doesn’t enforce using them as the registry
The domain is registered with Hover - but in order for the domain to show up on the adress line I need to use WIX name servers - dont I?
Nope, Wix supports being used as a DNS, or just as the site host, you can point the DNS in your current registry to your Wix Site, there should be instructions when starting the “Connect a domain” process
