Let's say my website lives at username.site.com and my domain is me.com

I've seen loads of tutorials which talk about showing my website username.site.com at the web address me.com but I don't want to use the www subdomain, I want to show it on my root domain me.com

How do I set up my DNS settings so when I visit me.com (no www) it shows the content which is at username.site.com without actually redirecting me there.

Should I be putting a new CNAME record with the value "@" and point to username.site.com?

Generally, this is a simple thing to do. For your domain name, within your DNS control panel, create a CNAME entry for mysite.com that points to the sub-domain.example.com. That should be it unless you want e-mail to work.

If that is the case, then I suggest using a sub-domain such as mail.mysite.com. If you host your e-mail using a service, then you should follow their instructions, however, again using a CNAME is possible. You would also need a MX record for mysite.com that points to mail.mysite.com. If you get to that point, let us know and we will be glad to help. You can also just leave me a comment here and I will jump and we will get it all working.
