A CNAME points one hostname to another hostname (rather than to an IP).
- Open Zone Editor (article 131) and click Manage for your domain.
- Click Add Record and choose CNAME.
- Enter:
- Name: the subdomain (for example,
www) - CNAME (points to): the target hostname (for example,yourdomain.co.za) - Save.
Tip: CNAMEs are commonly used to point www to your root domain, or to connect third-party services that ask you to "add a CNAME."
