CNAME Record

Does your website require the use of CNAME records? What precisely are CNAME Records? How to make one?

There are various ways to direct a domain to another domain or subdomain and one of them is by setting up a CNAME record. In case you own a domain and you have set up a website through some on-line service which provides you with a service subdomain, you could easily link the two by creating a CNAME record for your-domain.com that directs to subdomain.provider.com. What you'll achieve with this is that www.your-domain.com will be in the Internet browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned site from the servers of the third-party company. It is very important to know that if you create a CNAME record, any other records your domain name may have will stop working, so you can't have both a CNAME record pointing to one provider and working e-mail address with another one. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and sometimes additional configuration may be needed with the other company.
