No one is confined to a single identity. The same applies to businesses and their website. Over a period of time, your website may be attached to other aliases. The aliases may lead to confusion. Canonical names help us steer away from confusion. Let\u2019s have a look at how you can implement a CName on Show.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a CName?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CName or canonical names are aliases of websites that will redirect to the websites when used. For instance, entering theapple.com<\/a> will automatically redirect you to apple.com. A CName helps you in protecting your brand\u2019s identity. Let\u2019s have a look at how CName can be implemented in the Show App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Add a Canonical Name(CName) from Show<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how you can add a CName from Show<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Click on the \u201cSetting\u201d option from the vertical navigation menu on the left-hand side.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    1. Click on the \u201cBranding\u201d option.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      1. Scroll down and click on \u201cCustom URL\u201d<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"CName\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
        \n

        4. A box will open up for you to enter your desired \u201cCustom URL\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        \"Custom<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        5. Enter your desired \u201cCustom URL\u201d to check whether it is available. If it is available, you will see a caption under the box stating \u201cAvailable\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        6. Click on Apply to Confirm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        7. If the URL you have entered is invalid, it will display \u201cInvalid Domain. Please try a different one.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Further Steps<\/strong>
        <\/strong>
        <\/strong>Upon clicking the apply button a notification will appear on your right-hand bottom of the screen. The notification indicates a request sent to your mail for the custom Cname to the account owner and the DevOps team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Configuring your DNS Management<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        First, find the unique code that is to be added to your DNS management. Here are the steps to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 1: Visit the portal of your hosting provider<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Open DNS management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 3: Add the unique code as CName. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 4: Add the subdomain name that you wish to use under “Record name”. Please make sure that this subdomain name should be the same as the one that you add on Vmaker. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 5: Select “CName” under “record type” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Invalid data won’t be taken and your CName can not be implemented.<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
