How to Create a CNAME Record in cPanel Print

A CNAME record aliases one hostname to another hostname.

1. Open cPanel → Domains → Zone Editor.
2. Click Manage for the domain.
3. Add a CNAME record.
4. Enter the alias hostname in Name.
5. Enter the target fully qualified domain name in Record.
6. Save the record.

A CNAME points to a hostname, not directly to an IP address. It is useful when several names should follow another hostname whose underlying address may change.
