Add CNAME Record

info

A CNAME record (or a Canonical Name record) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS), which maps one domain name (an alias) to another.

Every DNS host has its own way of updating DNS settings, and, unfortunately, their dashboard interfaces usually aren't the most intuitive. We recommend that you read the help documentation of your DNS host, also do not hesitate to contact their support for help with their interface and settings.
