If you'd like to forward a domain address that you have to a different domain name or subdomain, the best way to do that would be to use a CNAME record. By creating such a record, the domain being pointed loses all of its records (A, MX, and so forth) and instead, it takes the A record of the domain address it is forwarded to. By doing this, if you are using a web design service by some provider that gives you a subdomain, you can use an actual domain and not only will it be directed to the Internet site which you have created, but it will also appear in the web browser address bar at all times. Some other possible uses of a CNAME record are to point all of the traffic from different subdomains to their main domain name, or to use the webmail service of your webhosting company by using webmail.your-doman.com, for instance. The latter will work only by setting up a CNAME record for a subdomain due to the fact that this kind of a record set up for the main domain address makes it impossible to use email addresses.
CNAME Records in Shared Hosting
You can effortlessly create CNAME records provided you have a shared hosting through our company. We will supply you with an easy-to-use CP that enables you to observe all DNS records for the domains and subdomains that are hosted inside the account. Creating a CNAME record includes a few simple steps - select the domain/subdomain, select CNAME as the type, enter the hostname you are pointing to, after that simply click on the Save button. The process is as elementary as that and the new record is going to be active almost instantly. This way, you'll have more control over your domain names and subdomains and over the content they open, you could create a private URL for company e-mails, and much 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 change or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it'll require literally only a mouse click to make it happen.
CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to create, edit and delete CNAME records really easy with any one of our semi-dedicated server plans. The accounts are controlled through the custom Hepsia hosting CP, and in one of its sections you'll see all records for any domain address or subdomain that you have added in your account. To create a new record, you have to select the hostname that will be forwarded (domain/subdomain), enter where it is going to be forwarded to, pick the record type, which will be CNAME in this case, and you'll be ready. Even if you have never used a web hosting service before, our CP is extremely easy to use, so you'll not have any problems. We also have a short video and a detailed help article concerning how to create a CNAME record, both of which are available in the same section of Hepsia. With this feature, you could easily use a domain address hosted on our groundbreaking cloud hosting platform for a site created elsewhere, create a custom webmail login address with any of your domains, and more.
