Find out CName

You can use either a CNAME or an IP address.

Hi Ron,

thank you for your answer.
If I use the IP addres, that doesn’t make a problem that the IP adress is shared with some other sites with different urls? The site is provided together some other sites on oner server in a hosting package and I don’t know these sites.
Kind regards
Ottilie

Can you park a domain or create a domain alias in your hosting control panel?

Hi Ron,
the site uses an alias like https://www.example.de. I create subdomains, i.e. named https://www.sample.example.de. In the hosting-package, there is a domain https://www.sample.de. Now I want to reach the subdomain with https://www.sample.de.
For that problem I want to use wordpress-mu-domain-mapping.0.5.4.3.
Can I use https://www.example.de as CNAME? Or is the domain-alias wrong here? Is it better to use the IP-address?
In the hosting control panel I can create as much domains as I want to pay.
Thanks
Ottilie

Can you point those domains to your WP install? If so, then the IP address will work.

Hi Ron,

thank you very much, with IP address everything works fine.
Great plugin.
