This guide will teach you why and how to add a CNAME record in cPanel to streamline your domain configurations.
A CNAME record is cPanel, which helps to point one domain or subdomain to another, allowing for relaxed management of domain aliases and subdomain redirections. This is specifically useful when mixing with third-party services, guaranteeing continuous connections and simplifying URL management without affecting the original DNS settings.
Follow the steps:
- Log in to cPanel.
- Under the “Domains” section, click on “Zone Editor.”
- Select +CNAME Record for the domain you wish to configure.
- Enter the name and the desired domain.
- Click “Add a CNAME Record” to save the changes.

- In the “DNS Functions” section, click on “DNS Zone Manager.”
