If you need to add a CNAME record in cPanel to connect a subdomain to another service, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Access cPanel
Go to your cPanel URL (e.g., yourdomain.com/cpanel).
Log in with your username and password.
Step 2: Find the "Zone Editor" Section
In the main cPanel dashboard, look for the Domains category.
Click on Zone Editor.
Step 3: Select the Domain
In the list of domains, find the domain where you want to add the CNAME record.
Click on +CNAME RECORD next to the domain.
Step 4: Complete the CNAME Record Information
Name: Enter the subdomain name (e.g., "blog" if you want "blog.yourdomain.com").
Destination or Address: Specify the address you want the subdomain to point to (e.g., example.com or service.example.com).
TTL: Leave it at its default value (usually 14400 or 4 hours).
Step 5: Save the Changes
Click Save or Add a CNAME Record to apply the changes.
Step 6: Verify the Configuration
Use tools like https://dnschecker.org to confirm that the CNAME record has propagated correctly.
Remember, DNS changes may take anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours to complete.
