There are several ways to direct a domain address to another domain or subdomain and one of them is by creating a CNAME record. If you own a domain and you have set up a site using some online service which supplies you with a service subdomain, you can easily link the two by creating a CNAME record for your-domain.com that directs to subdomain.provider.com. What you are going to achieve in this way is that www.your-domain.com will be in the Internet browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned website from the servers of the third-party provider. It is very important to know that if you set up a CNAME record, any other records your domain address may have will stop working, so you cannot have both a CNAME record directing to one company and functioning e-mail address with another. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and frequently further configuration may be needed with the other provider.

CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to create, modify and delete CNAME records easily with all of our semi-dedicated server plans. The accounts are controlled from the custom Hepsia hosting CP, and in one of its sections you'll see all records for any domain address or subdomain which you have added in your account. To create a new record, you only need to choose the hostname that will be forwarded (domain/subdomain), input where it is going to be forwarded to, pick the record type, which will be CNAME in this case, and you will be all set. Even if you have never used a web hosting service before, our CP is extremely intuitive to use, so you will not have any problems. We also have a short video and an in-depth help article concerning how to set up a CNAME record, both of which are located in the exact same section of Hepsia. With this function, you can easily use a domain address hosted on our revolutionary cloud hosting platform for a site created somewhere else, create a custom webmail login address with any of your domain names, and a lot more.
