Connecting a domain with the help of an A record

In some cases, it’s recommended to connect a domain with the help of DNS records. For instance, if you want to manage the domain at your current host, if you are connecting a subdomain or if the domain registrar doesn’t allow to change the NS records.

For that please follow the instructions above, but switch the tab on step #5 to Via DNS records:

connect domain via DNS records

Follow the instructions in the new pop-up window and click done:

Set domain via DNS records

Save the changes and allow up to 24—48 hours for the domain records to propagate worldwide.
