You can create, delete, and edit CNAME records from the Advanced DNS Settings area of your Domain Control Panel.
Please note: Any changes that you make to your advanced DNS settings can interrupt your service. If you are not an advanced user, we strongly recommend that you not change these settings.
To access the Domain Control Panel:
- Visit your GeoCities home page. You will be asked to sign in if you haven't already done so.
- On the Manage tab, click the "Access Domain Control Panel" link. (If you don't see this module, you may be viewing the control panel of your free GeoCities account. Return to the Home tab and use the "Select site:" menu to select your GeoCities Pro account.)
To create a CNAME record:
- Click the "Manage Advanced DNS Settings" link.
- Click the "Add Record" button.
- Enter the host name you wish to use into the "Source" field. (For example, if you wish to create a CNAME record called info.yourdomain.com for info.yourotherdomain.com, then you would enter "info" as the host name.)
- Enter the URL to which you wish to direct the CNAME record in the "Destination" field.
- Click the "Submit" button.
- Confirm your choice by clicking "Submit" again.
You'll return to the "Advanced DNS Settings" page, and your new CNAME record will appear in the A and CNAME records list. While your changes will appear in the name servers within minutes, please be aware that it can take up to 72 hours for new records to propagate to all name servers on the Internet.
