Create a CNAME record using the host/name and target supplied by the service you are configuring.
Step by Step
- Open the authoritative DNS zone.
- Choose Add record.
- Select CNAME.
- Enter the host/name.
- Enter the target hostname without inventing an IP address.
- Save the record.
- Wait for cached DNS answers to update.
If That Doesn't Work
- A CNAME points to a hostname, not directly to an IP address.
- DNS providers may restrict CNAME use at the root/apex domain.
