Creating a CNAME record for any one of the domain names or subdomains you have within a hosting account will enable you to direct it to a different domain/subdomain. The forwarded Internet domain will lose all of its records - A, MX and so forth, and will take the records of the domain it is being directed to. In this light, you can't create a CNAME record to point your domain name to a third-party provider and keep a functional email service with the first hosting provider. Additionally, it is essential to know that a CNAME record is always a string of words rather than a number as it's often confused with the A record of the domain being redirected. One of the primary uses of a CNAME record is to forward a domain address you own through one company to the servers of some other company when you have set up a website with the latter. By doing this, the Internet site will appear under your own domain, not under some subdomain provided by the third-party provider.
