There are various ways to direct a domain address to another domain or subdomain and one of them is by setting up a CNAME record. If you own a domain name and you've developed a website through some on-line service which provides you with a service subdomain, you can easily link the two by creating a CNAME record for your-domain.com that directs to subdomain.provider.com. What you'll achieve as a result is that www.your-domain.com will be in the web browser address bar while it opens the already mentioned website from the servers of the third-party company. You should know that if you create a CNAME record, any other records your domain may have will stop working, so you cannot have both a CNAME record pointing to one provider and working email addresses with another one. The CNAME record is always an alpha string, not a number, and often additional configuration may be required with the other provider.

If you need to create a CNAME record for any purpose, all you need to do will be to choose the domain name or subdomain that you need, pick the type of record, which will be CNAME in this case, then type in the value i.e. the domain or subdomain you are forwarding to. The procedure is quite simple and you can set up the record in the DNS Records section of the Control Panel. Within the hour the new record is going to be completely active and within a couple of hours it'll propagate worldwide.
