Overview

This document describes how to add an A record to point a domain name to a public IP address.

Directions

Note:
If anything goes wrong during this process, please contact us.
1. Log in to the DNSPod Console.
2. In Authoritative Resolution page, click the domain for which to add an A record to enter its Record Management page, as shown below:

3. Click Add Record and enter the following record information as shown below:

Host Record: select a subdomain. For example, when adding a record for www.dnspod.com, you can simply select "www" in the "Host" field. If you want to add a record for dnspod.com, select "@" in the "Host" field.
Record Type: select "A".
Line Type: select "Default". If you only select individual split zones, the domain may not be resolvable for certain users.
Record Value: you can only enter an IPv4 address. For example, if the IPv4 address you want to access is 119.29.29.29, then enter 119.29.29.29.
Weight: enter an integer between 0 and 100. For a split zone with identical hosts, weights can be set for different record values, and the resolved content will be returned according to the set weight ratio during DNS resolution.
Priority: leave it empty.
TTL: it is the cache time and 600s by default. The smaller the value, the faster the change to the record will take effect in various regions.
4. Click Confirm.
