Directing a domain.com/BLOG to a different host

[SharonEKG]

Hello,
 i cant seem to figure out how to approach this matter. we have a website and a domain setup in one place and we wanted to setup a blog for that website on a different hosting, what do i have to do to link between the two to make it so when a user type domain com /blog he will get to our blog that is hosted on a different hosting plan? with the blog hosting plan we received a temporary domain that does not expire but i have been told that if i redirect to that temporary domain it wont work correctly

also,

if we do manage to go through that process will accessing the blog will the URL show domain com/blog or will still show the temporary given domain?

is my only option is buying a new domain and just link between the two?

Thanks!

The solution to what you want to accomplish requires setting up what is called a reverse proxy, Sharon. It is not an automatic thing to set up and requires a high level of customisation on your server that is not generally available on inexpensive shared hosting.
