CNAME Studio is part of DNS Studio, a suite of focused, free tools for checking DNS, mail authentication, TLS, SSL and domain trust. Each tool does one job clearly, in plain language, with a Tech mode when you want the raw detail.
How it works
The DNS standard forbids a CNAME at the root (apex) of a domain — you cannot point yourdomain.com itself at a CNAME the way you can www. Providers work around this with CNAME flattening, ANAME or ALIAS records that resolve the target for you and answer with its addresses at the apex.
Private by design
There are no accounts and no advertising trackers. The domain you check is used only to perform the lookup and show you the result. See our Privacy page for details.
The rest of the studio
Looking for something else? Try DNS Studio for records and propagation, DKIM, DMARC and BIMI for mail, or TLS and SSL for certificates. The full list is in the footer.
