A (Address) Records

What is an A record?

An A record, or Address record, maps a domain name to its corresponding IPv4 address. This record is essential for directing traffic to your website's server.

Why do you need an A record?

Without an A record, users will not be able to find your website using its domain name. The A record ensures your domain resolves to the correct IP address.

A record structure

An A record consists of the domain name, TTL (Time to Live), record type (A), and the IP address. Example: example.com. 3600 IN A 192.0.2.1

How to create an A record?

To create an A record, log in to your DNS provider's management console, select your domain, and add a new A record. Specify the hostname, TTL, and IP address of your server.

FAQs

No, an A record maps a domain to a single IPv4 address. Use multiple A records for redundancy.

DNS propagation typically takes 24 to 48 hours, but it can sometimes be faster.

If an A record is incorrect, users will be directed to the wrong IP address, and your website will be inaccessible.
