If you want to direct a domain address that you have to another domain address or subdomain, a good way to do this would be to use a CNAME record. By setting up such a record, the domain address being forwarded loses all of its records (A, MX, etc) and instead, it takes the A record of the domain it is directed to. By doing this, if you are using a web design service by some company that gives you a subdomain, you can use an actual domain name and not only will it be redirected to the site that you have created, but it will also appear in the web browser address bar at all times. Some other possible uses of a CNAME record are to direct all the targeted traffic from various subdomains to their main Internet domain, or to use the webmail service of your hosting provider by using webmail.your-doman.com, for example. The latter will work only by creating a CNAME record for a subdomain due to the fact that this kind of a record set up for the main domain address makes it impossible to use email addresses.
