How to Add a CNAME Record in cPanel
CNAME records, or alias records, map an alias to its canonical name. You can easily add a CNAME record using cPanel's Zone Editor.
Steps to Add a CNAME Record:
Log in to your cPanel account.
In the Domains section, click on Zone Editor.

Under Domains, find the options listed under Actions.

Click on CNAME Record, and a popup box will open.
Enter the required details:
Name: Enter the name you wish to add (e.g.,
www
). cPanel will automatically append your domain name, resulting in something likewww.example.com
.CNAME: Enter the domain name you want to point to.
Click on Add a CNAME Record.
If the record is added successfully, you will see a success message.
Note: It may take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours for the changes to take effect worldwide.
