Forum:Please explain how to use my own domain name for a wiki (e.g. MyName.wikia.com = wiki.MyName.com) like Blogger etc.

I have a registered domain, let's call it MyName.org.

I would like to have wiki.MyName.org point to MyName.wikia.com (which has already been created).

I have edited the CNAME entries with my DNS provider to point wiki.MyName.org to MyName.wikia.com, but it seems to be "intercepted" and you are taken to www.wikia.com home page.

I have this working using the same method with Blogger/Blogspot, where you have to advise blogger you want it to accept this domain name.

I have seen other wikis on wikia do this (MemoryAlpha comes to mind).

I've searched the help and e-mailed but no luck to far...

How can I have wikia accept my domain name so that this happens?

I have this issue as well.
I would also like to know how to do this for my wiki, Starwarsmush.wikia.com - User_talk:Aknar
