Domains & DNS
What is A record?
The DNS record that points your domain to the IPv4 address of your hosting server.
An A record maps your domain (or a subdomain like www) to an IPv4 address — for example, yourbusiness.com → 102.89.34.10. It is the record that makes browsers and apps actually reach your hosting server, so it is the one you edit when moving your website to a new host. A matching AAAA record does the same job for IPv6 addresses. After editing an A record, allow some time for propagation before testing.
