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 like www.example.com.

    • CNAME: Enter the domain name you want to point to.

  • Click on Add a CNAME Record.
