Do you think this could be done via 123-reg rather than my hosting (NetHosted) and CPanel? (I'll get searching)

Since currently the nameservers in 123-reg are set to NetHosted and I set my A Name in CPanel.

Potentially, but I went to look to see what 123-reg have on their control panel and they want £10 per year for a subdomain.

Which is taking the piss to say the least, seeing as it costs fuck all in reality.

Just looked and it doesn't appear the 123-reg DNS editor lets you change NS records. It may work if you purchase a subdomain, but I wouldn't even try out of principle!

How very odd.

I can add an A Record though, which I think if my nameservers were 123-reg nameservers it would work...maybe. I can't be the first person to want this (for free).

But if your nameservers were 123-reg, then how do you integrate that with Afraid?

Basically you need

antthomas.co.uk -> Your CPanel NameServers
dynamic.antthomas.co.uk -> Your afraid nameservers

But the latter needs to be configured on the former, as it's a subdomain.

Yeah, doesn't solve the nameserver issue I guess.

Only just seen your edit up there. I'll ask NetHosted to see if it's possible

I've just tested it and confirmed 100% it works. Here's the setup:

123-Reg (mydomain.co.uk) nameservers point to my usual CPanel nameservers
In my hosting management (I have a reseller account, so outside of CPanel) I added the following DNS records

exch.mydomain.co.uk NS ns1.afraid.org
exch.mydomain.co.uk NS ns2.afraid.org

Then, in afraid.org I added a domain called exch.mydomain.co.uk (So note that afraid.org never gets to know about the top domain) and added records as I required.

So exch.mydomain.co.uk currently returns 4.2.2.2 which I've only set in afraid.org

Hope that makes some sense! 

Oh, nice that makes sense. So it is definitely possible with access to the zone file.

Which I don't have access to since I only have a basic plan, and I don't think it's possible via the Advanced DNS Zone Editor either (I can only use the Basic DNS Zone Editor currently). Thanks for looking into this!

Nah, the advanced one doesn't let you do NS records either. You're welcome an account on my hosting though, and I'll create your NS records.
