cname record does not work

[muhannad9999]

Hi
I bought a new domain (autoreplyservice.com) and then made cname to move it somewhere else, but it didn't work, did I make a mistake?

What you setup was autoreplyservice.com.autoreplyservice.com to go to wl.chatfuel.com

I would delete the cname you added and in the lower right side of the DNS manager is the forwarding feature that is what you will want to use

[muhannad9999]

thank you very much for the respond
Forwarding is not helpful now, I want to use cname exclusively

In that case you would change the www cname to where you want to forward to and set up the GoDaddy forward to go to the www

Otherwise if you go to your domain without the www it will hit the parked page whereas with will do the cname

This is actually a recommend method by some blog sites

So step 1) Set WWW cname to point to 3rd party system

Step 2) Set forward to go to www.domain.com

Just for clarity...

Remove.

Type	Host/name	Points to/value
CNAME	autoreplyservice.com	wf.chatfuel.com
CNAME	www	@

Add..

Type	Host/name	Points to/value
CNAME	www	wf.chatfuel.com

As noted by @PL281  this would setup www.autoreplyservice.com so you would need to forward the bare domain autoreplyservice.com to the www version.

Thank you very much @Nate  @PL281 
Did I succeed in it as in the pictures? Do I get the result immediately, or after 24 hours?

@muhannad9999  It looks like the domain is still parked, this should have changed when forwarding was activated.  Try turning the forwarding off and then back on again, if there's a box to update domain settings make sure it's checked.
