What are CNAME records? (and how they compare to DNS A records) 

Superb. Clear, no-nonsense and straight to the point. Thanks a million, mate.

this is the explanation i've been looking for. thanks for the quick, thorough, and easy to understand explained video!

THIS is exactly what I was looking for! Your explanation about why it's better to use an A record instead of a CNAME is what I was trying to figure out for the last day, since I've read and watched a bunch of tutorials suggesting one method or the other, but never explaining the differences or that you could do either one. Thank you!

I love your tutorials - quick, efficient, to the point and exactly what I need. Thank you Tony!

Your explanation is astonishingly simple and concise. Thank you

Unusually clear presentation, very helpful. Thanks Tony!

I've learnt so much from you Tony. U and Jay LaCroix are the most valuable sources of knowledge about networking / linux in the whole RU-vid.

The explanation is very clear

Nice explained, keep up the good work!

Perfect. Thanks!

Finally I understand what does CNAME DNS record mean. Thank You Tony!

Helpful. Many thanks.

Great video, nice and clear. Thank you for making. I’m wondering if it matters if I leave old DNS records on a domain or if I should I delete them

Great explanation. Thanks!

Great tutorial, thanks!

Thanks buddy!

Good job, thank you!

bro your intro almost gave me an epileptic shock... geez

Thanks... Got my subscription!!

Thanks a lot bro very nice video

very good explanation

thank u!

This is great, thank you. Question, If I move my site files to a different host server but keep my emails hosted on a different server, Can I just update the A records IP to the new server hosting the files? I do not want it to impact where my emails are currently hosted. I thought this was correct until I saw this video. I was told changing the CNAME in this case would not work.

thank you so much!

Explanation was so clear I could not hit subscribe fast enough

Hi Tony, we want to have the root domain for the normal website and a api. subdomain for the endpoint, but if I use cname it rooting me back to the root domain. How can we configure this for a school project?

Tony PLEEAASE! Where did you get that bombay canteen???

How would you set up A record or Alias record for a sub domain?

Hi Tony, I recently transferred my domain that I purchased from NameCheap to Google. (Thanks to your helpful video) However, now I don't know what to do with my DNS. (This is all a new language to me) Now that the transfer is complete I tried to create a webpage in google, but it says, "Can’t connect, domain in use"- and also my domain is "already managed by another service provider. To continue, enter a different subdomain. To use this subdomain, disconnect it and try again." So now I am searching for videos on what to do next, but cant seem to find the answers. Do you happen to have a tutorial on this issue?

Can you change the change or delete the cname using the command nsupdate on a rhel8 server?

quick question Tony.. I recently linked my custom domain to my github pages repo and set my DNS records with CNAME only and I have been waiting for DNS check to complete for 2 days now. Is it okay to only use the CNAME record without the A on my DNS records?

Great video Tony! I had a seizure watching the intro, watching this from the hospital! Very helpful!

I feel like ive just listened to a video in chinese. Im so not an I.T person haha but im glad we have some people who are good at this stuff.

If a web platform asked me to use ns1.sitename.com and ns2.sitename.com , for custom domain name , I just use NS record for 2 times inside Cloudflare?

Thanks

You helped me a lot, My blog is having more than .5M traffic pr month. Only coz i got best hosting nd speed for my customers. Thanks brother ❤️🔥

how we redirect root domain to another root domain?

nice job

I bought the name on google and they need the cname, for gmail, but the cname is nowhere to be found. Im so confused

Hi Tony! I'm currently creating a new website for a client who has previously had everything on wordpress. The website has a few subdomains and the client wants to keep those as one of them is for their shop. I'm designing a new website with WIX and was wondering if if i change the cname and A name records for the main domain, will it affect any of the subdomains that they have? Thanks!

Hello ~ I am so confused about NS and CNAME as both of them are point to A record. May I know their differences, application and location stored in , such as TLD or authoritative ?

I'm a designer. Can you explain what this means to me as a designer.

Hi found your video very useful content Can you do a video on how to point website to one server and email to another server

La triple T, que copado

Can you make a video talking about DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities)????

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is the IP address from the device, or website, or where exactly? My brain is not quite understanding where that number is found… 😢
