There are various 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've set up a site using some online service which provides 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 will achieve as a result is that www.your-domain.com is going to be in the browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned site from the servers of the third-party provider. It is important to know that if you create a CNAME record, any other records your domain address may have will stop functioning, so you can't have both a CNAME record directing to one company and functioning e-mail address with another. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and frequently more configuration may be needed with the other provider.

The new record will be fully active within the hour. Using CNAME records enables you to have better control of your domain addresses and site content and our system is simple and user-friendly enough to allow people with no previous experience to set up this sort of records with ease.
