An ALIAS record is similar to a CNAME but is specifically used for the root domain (e.g., yourdomain.com).
- In the Advanced DNS tab of your Hostaday account, click Add New Record.
- Select ALIAS Record from the dropdown.
- For the Host, enter
@. - For the Value, enter the target hostname (e.g.,
server.provider.com). This allows your main domain to point to a hostname instead of a static IP, which is ideal for many modern cloud services.
