There are several ways to direct a domain address to another domain or subdomain and one of them is by setting up a CNAME record. If you own a domain and you have developed a site through some on-line service which provides you with a service subdomain, you could easily link the two by creating a CNAME record for that redirects to What you're going to achieve as a result is that will be in the Internet browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned website from the servers of the third-party company. It is important to know that if you create a CNAME record, any other records your domain may have will stop functioning, so you cannot have both a CNAME record directing to one company and functioning email addresses with another. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and in some cases additional configuration may be necessary with the other company.
