CNAME Records in Web Hosting
Creating a CNAME record with our web hosting is quite easy. Our in-house built Hepsia CP includes a section dedicated to the DNS records of your domains, so you can create a new CNAME record for any domain or subdomain hosted in your account in a couple of simple steps. You can find a video tutorial in the same section in which you can see the process first-hand. This feature provides you with a number of opportunities - if you create a company website on our end, as an illustration, the staff can use their e-mails with the company domain address, not with the address of our mail server. If you wish to create an Internet site by using a different provider that offers online web design services, you can easily redirect a domain address hosted here and use it for the site. 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 may create a CNAME record for the www subdomain and direct it to the main domain address, so all your clients are going to be forwarded to a secure URL.
CNAME Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each of our semi-dedicated server accounts, will enable you to set up a CNAME record easily. In case you want to create a private URL for your emails, to point a domain address to a subdomain inside the account or to forward a domain name to another company and use some third-party service which they provide, it will not take you more than 3 clicks to set up this type of record. All DNS records for the domains and subdomains hosted inside the semi-dedicated account will be listed in a separate section in the CP, so when you're there, all you will have to do will be to select the type of the record that you want to create and the hostname for which you are creating it, and then enter the actual record text. For your benefit, you can watch a short video inside the CP regarding how to set up a CNAME record or you can follow the instructions in the help article, which is available in the DNS records section.
