CNAME records are referred to as alias records since they map an alias to its canonical name. You can add a **CNAME Record** using the cPanel's Zone Editor option.

**1.** Log in to your cPanel account.

**2.** In the **Domains** section, click on **Zone Editor**.

**3.** Under **Domains**, you can see many options below **Actions**.

**4.** Click on **CNAME Record**, and a popup box will open. Please, enter the required details in it.

**Name:** Enter the name you wish to add, such as **www**, and the cPanel will automatically add a domain name like www.example.com.
**CNAME:** Enter the domain name.

**5.** Now, click on **Add a CNAME Record**.

If the record is added successfully, you will see a success message.

**Note:** It may take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours for the changes to take effect worldwide.
