There are many ways to redirect a domain to another domain or subdomain and one of them is by setting up a CNAME record. When you own a domain and you have developed a website using some online service which supplies you with a service subdomain, you can easily link the two by setting up 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 web browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned site from the servers of the third-party provider. It is essential to know that if you create a CNAME record, any other records your domain may have will stop functioning, so you cannot have both a CNAME record directing to one company and working e-mail address with a different one. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and sometimes additional configuration may be needed with the other provider.

CNAME Records in Website Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which our company offers with each and every website hosting, allows you to set up CNAME records for any domain or subdomain hosted in the account with only a few clicks. If you're not confident how to go about it, you can check out the video tutorial that is available within the CP, read the detailed Help article on the subject, or just simply contact us and we will help you 24/7, though it is unlikely that you'll experience any difficulties as all it takes to set up a new CNAME record is to choose a domain/subdomain, input the hostname that you're pointing to, and save the modification. The new record will be fully active within the hour. Using CNAME records permits you to have better control over your domain addresses and site content and our system is simple and user-friendly enough to allow people who have no previous experience to set up this sort of records with ease.

CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to set up, change and delete CNAME records easily with all of our semi-dedicated server plans. The accounts are handled through the custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, and in one of its sections you will see all records for any domain name or subdomain that you've added in your account. To create a new record, you simply have to pick the hostname that will be forwarded (domain/subdomain), type in where it will be forwarded to, pick the record type, that'll be CNAME in this case, and you are going to be all set. Even when you haven't used a web hosting service before, our Control Panel is quite intuitive to use, so you will not have any troubles. We also have a short video and an in-depth help article regarding how to create a CNAME record, both of which could be found in the exact same section of Hepsia. With this function, you could easily use a domain address hosted on our revolutionary cloud hosting platform for a website created somewhere else, create a custom webmail login address with any of your domain addresses, and much more.
