May 18, 2017 at 8:13 comment added Stephen Ostermiller It is a common misconception that DNS CNAMEs redirect. They don't. All a CNAME entry in DNS does is point the domain name to the same IP address as another site. The web server will start to receive requests for both domain names and it must be configured to handle them. This usually involves setting up virtual host configurations for each domain in the web server.
