If you would like to direct a domain that you have to some other domain or subdomain, one way to do this would be to use a CNAME record. By creating such a record, the domain address being pointed loses all of its records (A, MX, and so on) and instead, it takes the A record of the domain name it's forwarded to. By doing this, if you use a web design service by some company that gives you a subdomain, you can use an actual domain and not only will it be forwarded to the Internet site which you have set up, but it will also appear in the browser address bar at all times. Some other possible uses of a CNAME record are to direct all the targeted traffic from various subdomains to their main domain address, or to use the webmail service of your webhosting company by using webmail.your-doman.com, for instance. The latter will work only by setting up a CNAME record for a subdomain because this kind of a record set up for the main domain address makes it impossible to use email addresses.
CNAME Records in Shared Hosting
You can easily set up CNAME records in case you have a shared hosting from our company. We're going to supply you with an easy-to-use Control Panel that enables you to observe all DNS records for the domain addresses and subdomains which are hosted inside the account. Setting up a CNAME record requires several simple steps - pick the domain/subdomain, pick CNAME as the type, type in the hostname you are pointing to, then simply click the Save button. The procedure is as basic as that and the new record will be active almost immediately. This way, you are going to have more control over your domain addresses and subdomains and over the content they open, you could 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 want to edit or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it'll require literally simply a click to do it.
