How to Update CNAME Aliases - Canonical Name - DNS Management
What is a CNAME Alias?
It is a hostname that points to another hostname (info.your-domain.net to info.your-domain.com). Domain owners typically use it to point a subdomain to another domain or subdomain (normal subdomains can only point to a directory within your hosting account).
For example, to create a subdomain address store.example.com, you need to add a CNAME record that points store to store.anotherhosting.com. Your domain host records will be something like this:
Type | Name | Content |
CNAME | store | store.anotherhosting.com |
**There is no need to modify the TTL and Priority fields.
