What is a CNAME?

A CNAME is what's known as a Canonical Name Record. It's like creating an alias for one domain and giving it the name of another.

You will need to tell Website Toolbox what domain you want your pages to appear on, and create the CNAME with the hosting provider where the domain is registered.
