If you wish to forward a domain that you have to another domain or subdomain, one way to do this would be to use a CNAME record. By creating such a record, the domain address being forwarded loses all of its records (A, MX, etc) and instead, it takes the A record of the domain name it is pointed to. In this way, 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 site which you have set up, but it'll also be displayed in the browser address bar at all times. Alternative possible uses of a CNAME record are to forward all the visitors from different subdomains to their main domain, or to use the webmail service of your hosting company by using webmail.your-doman.com, for example. The latter will work only by setting up a CNAME record for a subdomain because such a record created for the main domain name makes it impossible to use email addresses.

CNAME Records in Cloud Hosting

You can easily set up CNAME records if you have a cloud hosting with our company. We're going to supply you with an easy-to-use Control Panel where you can see all DNS records for the domain addresses and subdomains which are hosted in the account. Creating a CNAME record involves a number of easy steps - choose the domain/subdomain, pick CNAME as the type, enter the hostname you are forwarding to, and then just click on the Save button. The procedure is as basic as that and the new record is going to be active almost right away. In this way, you are going to have more control over your domains and subdomains and over the content they open, you could set up a private URL for company emails, plus much more. If you feel unsure about how to set up 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 want to change or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it'll take you literally simply a mouse click to do it.
