# Adding A CNAME

 * I did look at other topics submitted by others but didn’t find info on this question.
 * Hostgator has a place where I can add a CNAME using the cPanel > Simple DNS Zone
   Editor or the Advanced DNS Zone Editor.
 * My All-In-One book for Dummies tells me I should add a CNAME record with the 
   value of *.CNAME. Is that the exact text I enter or am I suppose to replace the
   CNAME part with a domain_name.com or subdomain_name.domain_name.com record?
 * Thanks for your help,
    Jim

 * replace where it says CNAME with the actual subdomain.
 * if you get real stuck, ask hostgator support.
