* 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.
