A CNAME (or Canonical Name) allows you to point one domain or subdomain to another domain name. This means you can update one A Record whenever you change, regardless of how many Host Records need to resolve to that IP address.
If you use the cPanel service of HostArmada, please follow these steps on how to add CNAME to your domain:
1. Log into your CPanel service here.
2. Use the search at the top of the page or look for the Zone Editor and click on it to open.
3. Click +CNAME RECORD to add a CNAME record to a given domain's DNS zone and enter the following information:
Name (the name of the record. The values here are any valid domains/subdomains)
CNAME (for example, www.hostarmada.tutorials)
5. Find the DNS record you've just added on the DNS Zone Manager page and click Manage.
6. Then click Edit and fill in the following information:
TTL/time to live (this value indicates how long the Recursive nameserver will cache your DNS record)
Record (add cname.mysignature.io - exactly as written)
7. Click the ADD A CNAME RECORD button to create a new CNAME type of DNS record.
