The new CName record has now been added and
the change will be made available according to your selection in the TTL
field.CName means Canonical Name Record and is an alias used for representing an IP address. You should change your CName record if you wish to point a domain to a server without using an IP address. This might be useful if the IP address of the server it points to changes often.
CName records must be pointed to server names and not to IP addresses. You should not register more than one CName or A record which point to the same Host (registered in the column to the left). If several records point to the same address, the system will not be able to recognise which record should be used.
