CNAME Invalid

Hi --

I am trying to add the following CNAMEs and getting an error that they are not valid:

Type	Host/Name	Value/Target/Alias To
CNAME	`openhosting1._domainkey`	`openhosting1._domainkey.wpcloud.com.`
CNAME	`openhosting2._domainkey`	`openhosting2._domainkey.wpcloud.com.`

To create a CNAME record on Homestead, you can:

Log in to your Homestead account
Click the Domains menu item
Click Advanced DNS Settings under the domain you want to change
Click the Edit button
Find the CNAME for www that shows websites.homestead.com under CNAMES
If you want to publish your page on the www subdomain, change it to secure.pageserve.co
Otherwise, create a new record with the subdomain you want to publish your pages on
Click the Submit button at the bottom
Click the Submit button again to confirm

A CNAME is a DNS record that aliases $domain-A to $domain-B. You can use CNAME records to point to your Homestead websites instead of an IP address. This provides flexibility if the IP address needs to be changed.
