If you want to direct a domain name that you have to another domain or subdomain, a good way to do that 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 Internet domain it is redirected to. That 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 directed to the site you have set up, but it will also be displayed in the Internet browser address bar at all times. Some other possible uses of a CNAME record are to redirect all the targeted traffic from different subdomains to their main domain name, or to use the webmail service of your hosting provider by using webmail.your-doman.com, for instance. The latter will work only by setting up a CNAME record for a subdomain due to the fact that this kind of a record set up for the main domain name makes it impossible to use email addresses.
CNAME Records in Shared Web Hosting
You can effortlessly create CNAME records provided you have a Linux shared web hosting with our company. We will provide you with an easy-to-use Control Panel that enables you to observe all DNS records for the domains and subdomains which are hosted within the account. Creating a CNAME record requires several simple steps - choose the domain/subdomain, choose CNAME as the type, enter the hostname you are pointing to, after that simply click on the Save button. The process is as simple as that and the new record is going to be active almost immediately. This 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 e-mails, plus 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 where you can see the whole process first-hand. If you choose to edit or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it'll require literally just a mouse click to make it happen.
CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You are going to be able to set up, change and delete CNAME records easily with all of our semi-dedicated server plans.

To create a new record, you need to choose the hostname that will be forwarded (domain/subdomain), type in where it will be forwarded to, choose the record type, that'll be CNAME in this case, and you're going to be ready. Even if you haven't used a web hosting service before, our Control Panel is quite easy to use, so you will not have any issues. We also have a short video and a detailed help article concerning how to create a CNAME record, both of which can be found in the exact same section of Hepsia. With this function, you can easily use a domain address hosted on our groundbreaking cloud hosting platform for a site created someplace else, create a custom webmail login address with any of your domain names, plus much more.
