Some DNS Providers support ALIAS records. Here is a list in our documents for that. If you had registered an APEX domain --  or root domain/naked domain -- (a domain without www, blog or other prefix) for Shifter, you can also input or select the value of CDN raw Hostname  (e.g. def456.cloudfront.net ), which is provided in Shifter's Dashboard.

This article describes two samples of setting up ALIAS record on MuuMuu Domain and Route 53 of AWS.

A CloudFront Domain is provided in the Live > Overview page of your site.
Before accessing your DNS Provider, copy the value of the CloudFront Domain ( in this case it is def456.cloudfront.net), and paste it into a notepad, Evernote, or your favorite stickies.

URL: https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/home

Select [Simple routing] and click [Next] button

Click [Define simple record]

Let's set up ALIAS record for your domain name.
​

For example.com

Record name: should be blank

Value/Route traffic to:

Pulldown menu 1: [Alias to CloudFront distribution]

Pulldown menu 2: [US East (N. Virginia) [us-east-1]]

Textarea: def456.cloudfront.net.
​RecordType: A – Routes traffic to an IPv4 address and some AWS resources
​TTL : 300 (Default)

Then click [Save changes] button.
