A CNAME record makes one name an alias of another — for example www.example.com → example.netlify.app. It's how you connect sub-domains to hosting platforms, stores, CDNs and email tools.
Nuqti reads the CNAME for the exact host you type, follows it to the final IP address, and names the platform behind it when it's recognisable — handy when you're connecting a domain or checking a competitor's setup.
An alias: it tells DNS 'this name is the same as that name'. The browser then looks up the target's IP.
Not by the DNS standard — the apex (example.com) can't have a CNAME next to its other records. Many DNS hosts offer 'CNAME flattening' or ALIAS records instead.
It may use an A record directly, or the CNAME hasn't propagated yet. Check worldwide with the DNS checker.
An A record points to an IP; a CNAME points to another name. Use CNAME when the platform may change its IPs.
