Hi, a cname is an alias for an other domain. That means it points directly to your on-rev domain. e.g. shop.yourdomain.com would point directly to yourname.on-rev.com The same pages would be shown.
With an a-record you can use this subdomain as a real domain on the on-rev system. You could have different folders for shop.yourdomain.com and yourname.on-rev.com So it would be possible to show different content for each domain.
