CNAME Record
Find out about CNAME records, if they are essential and in what ways they can fit in the DNS system.
Creating a CNAME record for any of the domain addresses or subdomains that you have in a hosting account will allow you to direct it to a different domain/subdomain. The forwarded domain name will lose all of its records - A, MX and so forth, and will take the records of the domain it is being pointed to. In this light, you can't create a CNAME record to point your domain name to a third-party company and retain a functional e-mail service with the first hosting company. Also, it is important to note that a CNAME record is always a string of words and not a number because it is commonly confused with the A record of the domain address being redirected. One of the main uses of a CNAME record is to direct a domain name that you own through one company to the servers of some other company in case you have set up an Internet site with the latter. In this way, the website will appear under your own domain address, not under some subdomain provided by the third-party provider.

CNAME Records in Cloud Web Hosting
You can easily create CNAME records in case you have a Linux cloud web hosting package from our company. We'll supply you with an easy-to-use CP where you could see all DNS records for the domains and subdomains which are hosted in the account. Creating a CNAME record requires a few simple steps - select the domain/subdomain, choose CNAME as the type, enter the hostname you are forwarding to, and then just click on the Save button. The process is as basic as that and the new record is going to be active almost right away. That way, you'll have more control over your domain names and subdomains and over the content they open, you'll be able to set up a private URL for company e-mails, and more. If you feel unsure about how to create a new record or you have never done such a task, you will find there's a short video tutorial in which you can 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 will take you literally just a mouse click to do it.
- CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with each of our semi-dedicated server accounts, will allow you to set up a CNAME record without difficulty. Whether you want to create a private URL for your emails, to point a domain address to a subdomain within the account or to forward a domain address to another provider and use some third-party service which they provide, it won't require more than three mouse clicks to create this kind of record. All DNS records for the domain names and subdomains hosted within the semi-dedicated account are going to be listed in a separate section in the CP, so when you're there, all that you will have to do will be to select the type of the record that you want to create and the hostname for which you are creating it, and then type in the actual record text. For your benefit, you can see a short video inside the Control Panel concerning how to set up a CNAME record or you can refer to the instructions in the help article, that's available in the DNS records section. - CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
