How do I use Google Domain to connect two different web services using a subdomain?

Question

I have an Adobe Portfolio site and use a Google Domain for it. Meaning my Adobe Portfolio's URL is example.com. I just got a website through Siteground and want to use my Google Domain for that as well, but through a Subdomain like links.example.com but keep my portfolio's URL as example.com.

All is about DNS, so the config should be done in your google domain DNS manager if this is your case. [If your Name Servers or NS are pointed from google domains dns manager to another, you should perform the actions in the pointed NameServers DNS management]

Don't modify the root zone records of your example.com, sometimes came with an @ or with the full domainName.com.

So, then create an (A-AAAA)(IP[Hosting Provider{SiteGround site}]) record depending on Ipv4-Ipv6 or a CNAME (example.com) if this is the same as example.com A record for your Siteground routing.

In case of @ just use;

Don't use @, instead use the desired subdomain as in the example

A links xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx TTL(As desired) [if IPv4] or

AAAA links xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx TTL(As desired) [if IPv6] or

CNAME links example.com TTL(As desired) [if Same A or AAA as example.com siteground or other hosting provider]

In case of example.com just use

A links.example.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx TTL(As desired) [if IPv4] or

AAAA links.example.com xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx TTL(As desired) [if IPv6]

or

CNAME links.example.com example.com TTL(As desired) [if Same A or AAA as example.com siteground or other hosting provider]

Remember, here we're just adding, not modifying or deleting any DNS Record.

All of these assuming that the hosting provider is already set up to receive a route from links.example.com which will be the subdomain and also the site to show.
