Configuring CNAME

Last updated: 2022-05-31 10:28:41

After you add your domain name to VOD, the system will automatically assign you a CNAME domain name (suffixed with .cdn.dnsv1.com), which you can check on Domain Management in the VOD console. The automatically assigned CNAME domain name cannot be accessed before you complete the CNAME configuration at your DNS service provider.

Wanwang
If your DNS service provider is Wanwang, use the following steps to add a CNAME record:
1. Log in to the Wanwang Member Center.
2. On the left sidebar, click Product Management > My Cloud Resolution to enter the cloud resolution list page.
3. Click the domain name to be resolved to enter the resolution record page.
4. On the resolution record page, click "Add Resolution" to set a resolution record.
5. To set a CNAME record, select CNAME as the record type. Enter the host record (such as www) as needed, which is the domain name prefix. Enter the domain name pointed to by the current domain name as the record value. Retain the default settings of the resolution line and TTL.
6. After completing the settings, click Save.
Xinnet
If your DNS service provider is Xinnet, you can add a CNAME record in the following steps:
Set an alias (CNAME record)
CNAME record, aka alias record, allows you to map multiple names to the same computer and is generally used for computers providing both www and mail services. For example, a computer named host.mydomain.com (A record) provides both www and mail services. To facilitate user access, you can set two aliases (CNAME records) for this computer: WWW and MAIL.
Verifying the Effectiveness of a CNAME Record
The time for a CNAME record to take effect varies by DNS service provider. It is generally within half an hour. You can also check whether the CNAME record is in effect in the following ways:
Method 1: Click Start → Run → enter cmd, press Enter, and enter the PING command to check whether the CNAME is effective. If the resolution result returned is the same as the CNAME of the domain name, the CNAME configuration is effective.
Method 2: Click Start → Run → enter cmd, press Enter, and enter the nslookup command to check whether the CNAME is effective. If the resolution result returned is the same as the CNAME of the domain name, the CNAME configuration is effective.
