A CNAME (or Canonical Name) allows you to point one domain or subdomain to another domain name. This means that you can update one A Record whenever you make a change, regardless of how many Host Records need to resolve to that IP address.

To add a CNAME to your hosting provider, Bluehost, please follow these steps:

1. Log into your Bluehost Hosting Account here.

2. For Legacy: Select the DNS Zone Editor icon in the Domains section.
For Rock: Click the Domains tab from the side navigation menu, then select the Zone Editor option.

3. Select the domain you're modifying from the drop-down box.

4. Scroll down to the heading named Add DNS Record.

5. In the Host Record field, enter the following information:

  • Name

  • TTL/time to live (leave it's default setting)

  • Type (select CNAME)

  • Points To (add cname.mysignature.io - exactly as written)

6. Click on the Add Record button to create the record.

​You can also follow this detailed guide from Bluehost here.

If you've followed these steps and are still having trouble with your custom domain, please take a screenshot of your current DNS setup and the CNAME record setup and email it to our Support Team via live chat or at [email protected]. We will gladly help!
