A CNAME record, or Canonical Name record, is a DNS entry that redirects traffic subdomains to another domain or platform.
You can manage CNAME records from your hosting control panel if your domain name is using the Skystra nameservers. However, if you are using an external DNS and/or CDN provider (Cloudflare, etc.) on external nameservers – your CNAME records would be managed at that provider.
