How to set up a CNAME record
A CNAME Record (Canonical Name Record) is the equivalent of an alias for another record. It is used when one or multiple records need to point to the same record. If that record points to an IP address and the others point to it via CNAME, whenever the IP needs to be modified, you will only need to edit the main record without modifying the CNAME records.
To configure the CNAME record for your domain, you must access the DNS management directly by clicking on the DNS option from the "Basic services list" in the control panel and follow the steps below.
1.-Add record
In the "DNS Records" list, click on New record and under "Record type" choose the CNAME type option.
Enter the subdomain, the destination address, and save the record.
In the "TTL Value" section, you must specify the period of time that DNS servers should use the record before checking for updates.
In the "Subdomain" section, you must enter the subdomain you want to create.
In "Destination address" you must enter the hosting server the record should point to.
2.-Propagation
Your CNAME record has now been created. You only need to wait for the changes to propagate, a process that may take approximately five minutes.
