I’m using Host Gator.   I’m a little confused. I’ve added a CNAME and updated that info in the cPanel but should I also go to subdomains and create a subdomain?

Hi Robert,

No that’s not necessary, just by adding a cname and pointing it to unbouncepages.com you’ve done enough to tell browsers what they need to know to resolve the dns correctly and direct your traffic.

Kind regardS

Stuart is right but just keep in mind that it can take up to 48h for the CNAME changes to propagate. 

I have multiple landing pages. Do I need a separate cname record for each?  If not, how would I set this up?  Thanks.
