To set up a CNAME record on your 123-reg domain name, please do the following:
'CNAME' (canonical name) records are a pointer to another name already in DNS.
Firstly, you need to ensure your domain is pointed to our nameservers:
- ns.123-reg.co.uk
- ns2.123-reg.co.uk
If the domain is not pointed to the 123-reg nameservers, you will be unable to manage them from the 123-reg control panel.
For more information on changing your nameservers please view the following article:
How do I change the nameservers for my domain name?
