<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">The request I got is to create a CNAME to point shop4water.com to shop4water.hostedbywebtstore.com.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">We own shop4water.com – hostedbywebstore.com is something external that we don’t own.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">I’ve reviewed past posts and searched the internet. I see things saying “you can’t have CNAME only” or “you can” or “you should use DNAME instead” and then
others saying that “you can’t use CNAME or DNAME with any other record and the SOA itself is a record”.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">So my basic question is: Is it possible to do this? If so what should the zone file for shop4water.com look like? Is there another way to make queries for
shop4water.com go to shop4water.hostedbywebtstore.com?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
