A CNAME record makes one name an alias of another name instead of pointing it at a number. For example, www.yourcompany.com can be an alias for a hostname your platform gives you, so if that platform changes its server address, your site follows automatically.
The key distinction: an A record points to an IP address, while a CNAME points to another name. A CNAME generally cannot sit at the bare root of a domain (yourcompany.com with no www), and a name with a CNAME should not have other records beside it. Why it matters: Shopify, email tools and many other services ask you to add a CNAME, and adding it in the wrong place or type quietly breaks the connection.
