If you'd like to direct a domain address that you have to a different domain address or subdomain, a good way to do that would be to use a CNAME record. By setting up such a record, the domain name being redirected loses all of its records (A, MX, etc) and instead, it takes the A record of the domain it is forwarded to. In this way, if you use a web design service by some company that gives you a subdomain, you can use an actual domain and not only will it be redirected to the website you have created, but it'll also be displayed in the web browser address bar at all times. Other possible uses of a CNAME record are to redirect all of the targeted 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 due to the fact that such a record created for the main domain name renders it impossible to use e-mail addresses.

CNAME Records in Cloud Hosting

You can easily set up CNAME records in case you have a cloud hosting with our company. We're going to supply you with an easy-to-use Control Panel where you could see all DNS records for the domain addresses and subdomains that are hosted in the account. Setting up a CNAME record involves a few simple steps - pick the domain/subdomain, pick CNAME as the type, enter the hostname you are redirecting to, then simply click on the Save button. The process is as elementary as that and the new record is going to be active almost instantly. In this way, you will have more control over your domains and subdomains and over the content they open, you can create a private URL for company emails, plus much more. If you feel unsure about how to create 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 edit or delete an existing CNAME record created for a domain/subdomain hosted on our end, it will take you literally only a mouse click to get it done.

CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to set up, edit 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 will see all records for every domain name or subdomain which you have added in your account. To create a new record, you only need to select the hostname that will be forwarded (domain/subdomain), type in where it is going to be forwarded to, pick the record type, which will be CNAME in this case, and you are going to be all set. Even if you have never used a web hosting service before, our Control Panel is incredibly intuitive to use, so you will not have any issues. We also have a short video and a detailed help article concerning how to set up a CNAME record, both of which are available in the same section of Hepsia. With this function, you can easily use a domain address hosted on our groundbreaking cloud hosting platform for an Internet site created elsewhere, set up a custom webmail login address with any of your domain addresses, and much more.
