How to Add a CNAME Record to Your Domain Name DNS

If you are using your domain name with our hosting or email services then your DNS could already be set up. However you may want to create an alias from one domain to another domain. This is done by creating or editing a DNS CNAME record.

This article shows you how to add a CNAME record to your domain DNS in our hosting control panel.
