What are CNAME Records?
CNAME (Canonical Name) records create aliases that point one domain name to another. Instead of pointing directly to an IP address, they point to another domain name, which then resolves to an IP address.
Common Use Cases:
- WWW Subdomain: Point www.example.com to example.com
- CDN Integration: Point assets.example.com to cdn.provider.com
- Service Aliases: Point blog.example.com to hosting.provider.com
- Load Balancing: Point to load balancer hostnames
How CNAME Resolution Works:
- DNS query for www.example.com
- DNS returns CNAME pointing to example.com
- DNS then queries for example.com A record
- Final IP address is returned to client
