In this guide, we'll show you how to point your custom subdomain (like subdomain.yourdomain.com) to ekaav.com. The process involves creating a CNAME record in your DNS settings, depending on your domain provider. Below, we’ll walk through the steps for several popular domain providers.

Verifying the Setup

Once you've added the CNAME record, it may take some time for DNS propagation. You can use tools like DNSChecker.org to verify that your subdomain points to ekaav.com globally.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

• DNS Propagation Delay: It may take a few minutes to a few hours for the DNS settings to propagate. You can track this using the DNS checker.

• Ensure Correct Spelling: Make sure there are no typos in your subdomain or the target domain (ekaav.com).

• Cloudflare Caching: If you are using Cloudflare, their aggressive caching may delay changes. Try purging the cache if changes don't appear immediately.

• Support: Write to ekaav support team at support@ekaav.com

By following these steps, you can easily point your custom subdomain to ekaav.com. If you experience any issues, double-check your DNS settings and ensure that your CNAME record is correctly configured.
