There are lots of ways to redirect a domain name to a different domain or subdomain and one of them is by setting up a CNAME record. In case you own a domain and you have developed a site through some on-line service which supplies you with a service subdomain, you can easily link the two by creating a CNAME record for your-domain.com that redirects to subdomain.provider.com. What you will achieve with this is that www.your-domain.com will be in the browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned website from the servers of the third-party company. You should know that if you set up a CNAME record, any other records your domain address may have will stop working, so you cannot have both a CNAME record pointing to one provider and working e-mail address with another one. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and in some cases additional configuration may be required with the other company.
