Name server CNAME record

Last modified: Thursday June 19th, 2025

A CNAME (Canonical Name) record is an alias for another name. For example, the CNAME record www.domainname.ee can be an alias for the A record domainname.ee.
The CNAME record must always be in the form of a host name (it must not be an IP address).

It is recommended to use a CNAME record when multiple different hosts are directed to a single IP address.
