Answer:
This article explains how to add an A record to your domain. An A record points your domain to a specific IPv4 address.
1. Log in to the Client Panel
-
Log in to your GHFS Hosting client area using your credentials.
2. Go to the Domain Management Page
-
From the top menu, select "Domains".
-
Choose the domain for which you want to add an A record.
3. Open the DNS Management Section
-
Look for "DNS Management", "DNS Editor", or "Zone Editor".
-
Availability may vary depending on your domain registrar and hosting plan.
-
If DNS management is not available, you may need to open a support ticket.
4. Add a New A Record
Enter the following information to create an A record:
-
Hostname / Name: Use "@" for the root domain. For subdomains, enter "www" or any other subdomain name.
-
Record Type: A
-
Address / IP: The IPv4 address you want to point the domain to
-
TTL: You can leave it at the default value.
Example record:
Name: @
Type: A
IP: 123.123.123.123
5. Save the Record
-
Click save or apply.
-
DNS propagation may take 1 to 4 hours for the changes to take full effect.
6. Important Notes
-
Incorrect IP entries will cause your site to stop loading.
-
A records are for IPv4; for IPv6 you should create an AAAA record.
-
If you want the "www" subdomain to point to the same IP, you must add a separate A record for it.
