If you wish to direct a domain name that you have to some other domain or subdomain, a good way to do this would be to use a CNAME record. By creating such a record, the domain being forwarded loses all of its records (A, MX, and so forth) and instead, it takes the A record of the domain address it is redirected to. This way, if you are using a web design service by some provider that gives you a subdomain, you can use an actual domain and not only will it be forwarded to the site you have set up, but it'll also be displayed in the Internet browser address bar at all times. Alternative possible uses of a CNAME record are to forward all the targeted traffic from various subdomains to their main domain address, or to use the webmail service of your hosting company by using webmail.your-doman.com, for instance. The latter will work only by creating a CNAME record for a subdomain simply because such a record set up for the main domain address makes it impossible to use e-mail addresses.

CNAME Records in Shared Website Hosting

You can effortlessly create CNAME records if you have a Linux shared website hosting from our company. We'll supply you with an easy-to-use Control Panel that enables you to view all DNS records for the domains and subdomains which are hosted within the account. Setting up a CNAME record includes a number of easy steps - select the domain/subdomain, pick CNAME as the type, enter the hostname you are redirecting to, and then simply click on the Save button. The procedure is as easy as that and the new record will be active almost instantly. That way, you're going to have more control over your domain addresses and subdomains and over the content they open, you'll be able to set up a private URL for company emails, and much more. If you feel unclear about how to set up a new record or you have never done such a task, we have a short video tutorial in which you can see the whole process first-hand. If you decide to change or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it will take you literally only a mouse click to make it happen.

CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server through our company and you want to create a CNAME record, it will require just a couple of mouse clicks to complete this task.

To set up a CNAME record, you will simply have to pick the record type and the hostname (domain or subdomain), enter where the latter will be directed to and save the modification. The new record will be active almost immediately in our system and will propagate worldwide within a couple of hours. Changing or deleting an existing CNAME record within the account is just as easy and takes a click.
