How to Update CNAME Aliases - Canonical Name - DNS Management
CNAME (Canonical Name) is a hostname that points to another hostname. Domain owners typically use it to point one domain or subdomain to another domain name (normal subdomains can only point to a directory within your hosting account).
How to Update a CNAME Record
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Click Domains in the left-hand menu.
- Navigate to your domain's management page.
If you have a single domain in your account, you'll be redirected to the domain management page right away.
If you have multiple domains in your account, click the domain or the vertical ellipsis under the Actions column on the right, and then click Manage.
- On the domain management page, scroll down to the Advanced Tools section.
- Click Manage right beside Advanced DNS Records.
- In the pop-up, click the Continue button to proceed.
- On the Manage Advanced DNS Records page, click the + Add Record button on the right.
- Select CNAME from the Type drop-down menu.
- Fill out the details of your CNAME record.
- Click the Add button to save your CNAME record.
Note that DNS record changes may take 24-48 hours to take effect.
