There are lots of ways to direct a domain to an alternative domain or subdomain and one of them is by creating a CNAME record. When you own a domain name and you've set up a site using some on-line service which supplies you with a service subdomain, you can easily link the two by setting up a CNAME record for your-domain.com that points to subdomain.provider.com. What you are going to achieve as a result is that www.your-domain.com is going to be in the Internet browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned Internet site from the servers of the third-party company. It is important to know that if you create a CNAME record, any other records your domain name may have will stop functioning, so you cannot have both a CNAME record directing to one company and working e-mail address with another. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and frequently additional configuration may be required with the other provider.
