CNAME Record

A CNAME (Canonical Name) record is a DNS record that maps an alias domain name to the true (canonical) domain name. For example, a CNAME record might point 'www.example.com' to 'example.com', or 'blog.example.com' to 'mysite.wordpress.com'. CNAME records are useful for subdomains and third-party services. A domain with a CNAME record cannot have other record types (like A or MX records) at the same name.

FAQ

What is a CNAME record?

A CNAME record creates an alias that points one domain name to another domain name, instead of directly to an IP address. It's commonly used for subdomains.
