Someone please please please also explain what CNames are !!!!!!!

Learner

CNAME = "Canonical Names"

In DNS they allow you to have something.yourdomain.com point to another hostname instead of an IP address.

Not to be confused with web redirection which is something totally different.

The most common example is on a shared host where you give domain.com an IP address in its DNS record and then say:

mail in CNAME domain.com

You could equally say:

mail in A 123.123.123.123

But its normally done with a CNAME

Hey, hey, hey, look whos back :) Welcome back Learner :)

Canonical Name records (CNAMEs) act as aliases for the hostnames they are attached to. CNAMEs take on the web setting and MX record of their assigned hostname.

Yep, welcome back learner .. long time away :)
