CNAMEs. How do I know if it will work with my website?

Another domain name will be pointing to our website soon.

Can I do this with just CNAME records?

Or will I need to add host headers on my side?


Thanks.

If you dont really want to host the separate website for the new domain,And like only to point to the existing website of your old domain,

What you need to do is that ,Change the name server of new domain as same as old domain,And than create the domain alias means just create the same record for new record  as the old domain and thereafter bind  the host-header field to the old domains website over the website server(IIS)
newdomain.com 80 ipaddress
www.newdomain.com 80 ipaddress

Or also you can simply do 301 redirection for the same
