How to Point Your Domain to Your WordPress Hosting (Set an A Record)

16 views

When you purchase WordPress hosting from us, your website runs on our servers.
To make your domain load your WordPress site, you need to set an A record in your domain’s DNS settings so it points to your hosting IP.

Step 1: Get Your Hosting IP from the Client Dashboard

  1. Log in to your Client Dashboard.
  2. Go to Services and click on your WordPress hosting service.
  3. In the service details page, look for Server IP or Hosting IP (e.g., 95.217.108.55).
  4. Copy this IP address — you’ll use it in your DNS settings.

Step 2: Access Your Domain’s DNS Settings

  1. Log in to the website where you registered your domain (domain registrar).
  2. Go to DNS Management or DNS Zone Editor for your domain.

Step 3: Add or Edit the A Record

If your DNS is managed at your registrar:

  1. Find the A record for your domain (often labeled @).
  2. Edit it to:
    • Type: A
    • Host / Name: @
    • Points to / Value: Your hosting IP from Step 1
    • TTL: 3600 seconds (1 hour) or leave as default
  3. Save changes.

Step 4: Add the WWW Record (Optional but Recommended)

To make www.yourdomain.com work too:

  1. Add another A record:
    • Type: A
    • Host / Name: www
    • Points to: Your hosting IP
  2. Save changes.

Step 5: Wait for DNS Propagation

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours for the DNS changes to take effect worldwide.

That’s it!
Once the changes propagate, your domain will load your WordPress site hosted on our servers.
