How can I create mydomain.com/name which is domain only (not hosted) and point it to a page on a hosted website e.g. mywebsite.com/webpage?

I have access to the DNS of mydomain.com and would need to create mydomain.com/name ... and have access to DNS of mywebsite.com (limited access to the hosting.

My research suggests that /name is handled in the hosted environment, but looking for other possibilities.

Is this possible with DNS, CNAME, etc.? Thank you.

No, DNS can only handle mydomain.com. If you want to redirect on a specific path, such as /name you have to have a web server running that can respond to requests and redirect appropriately. Some DNS providers has this built-in and will provide it, without a hosting package.

But everything after the first / in a URL no longer has anything to do with DNS.
