If you'd like to forward a domain that you have to some other domain address or subdomain, the best way to do that would be to use a CNAME record. By setting up such a record, the domain address being pointed loses all its records (A, MX, etc) and instead, it takes the A record of the Internet domain it's pointed to. This way, if you are using a web design service by some provider that gives you a subdomain, you can use an actual domain name and not only will it be redirected to the site which you have created, but it will also appear in the Internet browser address bar at all times. Other possible uses of a CNAME record are to point all of the traffic from various subdomains to their main domain name, or to use the webmail service of your hosting company by using webmail.your-doman.com, for instance. The latter will work only by creating a CNAME record for a subdomain simply because this kind of 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 in case you have a Linux cloud hosting package with our company. We will provide you with an easy-to-use CP which allows you to observe all DNS records for the domain names and subdomains which are hosted inside the account. Setting up a CNAME record requires a few easy steps - select the domain/subdomain, choose CNAME as the type, type in the hostname you are pointing to, after that just click on the Save button. The process is as elementary as that and the new record will be active almost right away. This way, you're going to have more control over your domains and subdomains and over the content they open, you'll be able to set up a private URL for company e-mails, and a lot more. If you feel unclear 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 decide to modify or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it'll take you literally only a click to get it done.

CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are going to be able to create, edit and delete CNAME records very easy with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. The accounts are controlled via the custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, and in one of its sections you'll see all records for any domain or subdomain that you've added in your account. To create a new record, you have to choose the hostname that'll be forwarded (domain/subdomain), type in where it is going to be forwarded to, choose the record type, that 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 incredibly intuitive to use, so you'll not have any issues. 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 feature, you can easily use a domain address hosted on our cutting edge cloud hosting platform for a site created someplace else, set up a custom webmail login address with any of your domains, and a lot more.
