How to make an IP redirection or how to create a record A

An A Record (Address Record) is the most common record in DNS management and represents an IP redirection.
 
 
To create an IP redirection, you must access the DNS management of the domain you want to redirect. To do so, go directly to DNS management from the "Basic services list" in your control panel and follow these steps.

 
1.- Add record
 
In the "DNS Records" list, click on New record and in the "Record type" dropdown select type A.


You have three options to create the record:
  • The domain (Record @): indicates which IP the domain should point to.
 
  • A specific subdomain: if you only want the IP redirection for www or any other subdomain.

 
  • Undefined subdomains: if you want all subdomains not explicitly defined in DNS records to point to the same IP.

 
2.- Propagation
 
Your IP redirection is now ready. You only need to wait for the changes to propagate, which may take approximately 5 minutes.
