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 consists of an IP-based redirection.
 
 
To create an IP-based redirection, you need to access the DNS management of the domain you want to redirect. To do this, go directly to manage the DNS from the “Basic services list” in the control panel and follow the steps below.
 
 
1.- Add record
 
In the “DNS Records” list, click on New record and under “Record type” select the A record type.



You have three options to create the record:
  • The domain (Record @): indicates which IP address 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 that are not defined in the records to point to the same IP address.
 
 
 2.- Propagation
 
Your IP redirection is now ready. You just need to wait for the changes to propagate, a process that usually takes around 5 minutes.
