CNAME Record
Learn more about CNAME records, if they're needed and how they can fit in the DNS system.
There are lots of ways to redirect a domain name to another domain or subdomain and one of them is by setting up a CNAME record. If you own a domain and you've developed a site using some online service which provides you with a service subdomain, you can easily link the two by setting up a CNAME record for your-domain.com that points to subdomain.provider.com. What you're going to achieve by doing this is that www.your-domain.com is going to be in the web browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned website from the servers of the third-party provider. You should know that if you set up a CNAME record, any other records your domain name may have will stop functioning, so you can't have both a CNAME record pointing to one provider and functioning email addresses with another. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and in some cases more configuration may be required with the other company.

CNAME Records in Web Hosting
Creating a CNAME record using our Linux web hosting is very easy. Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel features a section committed to the DNS records of your domain names, so you can set up a new CNAME record for any domain or subdomain hosted within your account in just a few simple steps. You'll find a video tutorial in the same section where you can see the process first-hand. This feature offers you a variety of options - if you build a company site on our end, for instance, the workers can use their emails with the company domain name, not with the address of our mail server. If you want to set up a site using a different company which offers online web design services, you can easily redirect a domain name hosted here and use it for the site. Last, but not least, in case you have an on-line store and you have a billing system for http://your-domain.com and/or an SSL certificate, you'll be able to set up a CNAME record for the www subdomain and direct it to the main domain, so all your clients will be forwarded to a secure URL.
- CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each of our semi-dedicated server accounts, will permit you to set up a CNAME record without difficulty. If you want to create a private URL for your e-mails, to forward a domain to a subdomain inside the account or to forward a domain to another provider and use some third-party service which they provide, it's not going to require more than 3 clicks to create this sort of record. All DNS records for the domains and subdomains hosted inside the semi-dedicated account will be listed in a separate section in the Control Panel, so once you're there, all 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 input the actual record text. For your benefit, you can see a short video in the Control Panel regarding how to set up a CNAME record or you can follow the instructions in the help article, that is available in the DNS records section. - CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
