CNAME

What is a CNAME Record?

A "CNAME" record maps a subdomain (www.example.com, something.example.com) to another DNS name.

Note

CNAME is NOT supported on the apex of the domain (example.com), ONLY subdomains. Please see ALIAS records for a similar feature but for the apex/root of the domain.

Example

Name	Type	Value
www.example.com	CNAME	example.com
