There are various ways to redirect a domain name to another domain or subdomain and one of them is by setting up a CNAME record. When you own a domain name and you have set up a website through some on-line service which supplies you with a service subdomain, you could easily link the two by setting up a CNAME record for your-domain.com that directs to subdomain.provider.com. What you will achieve in this way is that www.your-domain.com will be in the Internet browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned Internet site from the servers of the third-party company. You should know that if you create a CNAME record, any other records your domain name may have will stop functioning, so you cannot have both a CNAME record directing to one company and working e-mail address with a different one. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and in some cases further configuration may be needed with the other provider.

CNAME Records in Shared Hosting

You can effortlessly set up CNAME records if you have a Linux shared hosting package from our company. We will supply you with an easy-to-use Control Panel where you could observe all DNS records for the domain addresses and subdomains which are hosted inside the account. Creating a CNAME record requires several simple steps - pick the domain/subdomain, choose CNAME as the type, enter the hostname you are pointing to, then simply click on the Save button. The process is as basic as that and the new record is going to be active almost instantly. This way, you will have more control over your domain addresses and subdomains and over the content they open, you can set up a private URL for company e-mails, plus much more. If you feel uncertain about how to create a new record or you have never done such a task, we have a short video tutorial where you could see the whole process first-hand. If you choose to modify or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it'll take you literally simply a click to get it done.
