Select all wordsDefinition of Canonical Name | (CNAME) A host’s official name as opposed to an alias. The official name is the first hostname listed for its Internet address in the hostname database, /etc/hosts or the Network Information Service (NIS) map hosts.byaddr (’hosts’ for short). A host with multiple network interfaces may have more than one Internet address, each with its own canonical name (and zero or more aliases). You can find a host’s canonical name using nslookup if you say
set querytype=CNAME
and then type a hostname
In a web page’s meta tags, you can now assign the primary domain to your page/website with the tag:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.webpaws.com" />
