The DNAME record provides redirection from a part of the DNS name tree to another part of the DNS name tree. The DNAME and CNAME records both cause a lookup to (potentially) return data corresponding to a domain name different from the queried domain name. The difference between the two resource records is that the CNAME directs the lookup of data at its owner to another single name, whereas a DNAME directs lookups for data at descendants of its owner's name to corresponding names under a different (single) node of the tree.
The DNAME record has the following look in your DNS zone management page:
| Host | Type | Points to | TTL |
| www.domain.net | DNAME | hostname.com | 1 Hour |
