What is a CNAME record

Read Original

This article defines a CNAME (Canonical Name) record, a DNS entry that specifies one domain is an alias for another canonical domain. It explains how CNAME records allow multiple domain names (like ftp.example.com) to resolve to the same IP address as a primary domain (example.com), detailing the relationship between the alias and the canonical name.
