There are various ways to redirect a domain address to an alternative domain or subdomain and one of them is by creating a CNAME record. When you own a domain name and you have developed a site using some on-line service which supplies you with a service subdomain, you could easily link the two by creating a CNAME record for your-domain.com that redirects to subdomain.provider.com. What you are going to achieve as a result 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 provider. You should know that if you set up a CNAME record, any other records your domain address may have will stop working, so you can't have both a CNAME record pointing to one provider and functioning email addresses with another. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and in some cases additional configuration may be needed with the other provider.
