If you wish to forward a domain address that you have to some other domain or subdomain, the best way to do this would be to use a CNAME record. By setting up such a record, the domain being pointed loses all its records (A, MX, and so forth) and instead, it takes the A record of the domain name it is directed to. By doing this, if you are using a web design service by some provider that gives you a subdomain, you can use an actual domain name and not only will it be pointed to the website that you have created, but it will also be displayed in the Internet browser address bar at all times. Other possible uses of a CNAME record are to forward all the traffic from various subdomains to their main domain address, or to use the webmail service of your webhosting company by using webmail.your-doman.com, for instance. The latter will work only by setting up a CNAME record for a subdomain simply because such a record set up for the main domain name makes it impossible to use e-mail addresses.

The Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with each of our semi-dedicated server accounts, will enable you to set up a CNAME record effortlessly.
