CNAME Records in Cloud Website Hosting
Setting up a CNAME record with our Linux cloud website hosting packages is really easy. Our in-house built Hepsia CP includes a section dedicated to the DNS records of your domain names, so you can create a new CNAME record for any domain or subdomain hosted inside your account in a couple of easy steps. You can find a video tutorial inside the same section where you can see the process first-hand. This feature will give you various possibilities - if you set up a company website on our end, for instance, the employees can use their emails with the company domain, not with the address of our mail server. If you wish to create a website using a different provider that offers online web design services, you can easily forward a domain name hosted here and use it for the website. Last, but not least, in case you have a web-based store and you have a billing system for http://your-domain.com and/or an SSL certificate, you could create a CNAME record for the www subdomain and redirect it to the main domain address, so all your visitors are going to be forwarded to a secure URL.
CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Managing DNS records usually seems to be a difficult task to people with less experience, but the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with each semi-dedicated hosting which we offer, is quite easy to use. If you need to set up a CNAME record for any purpose, all you need to do will be to choose the domain name or subdomain you need, select the type of record, which will be CNAME in this case, then type in the value i.e. the domain name or subdomain you are forwarding to. The process is very easy and you can create the record in the DNS Records section of the Control Panel. Within the hour the new record will be completely active and within several hours it is going to propagate around the world. If you aren't sure what you should do, we have prepared a comprehensive help article and a short video tutorial concerning how to go about creating a CNAME record and they are both located in that same section of Hepsia. Naturally, you can also get in touch with us for help at any time.
