How to add or edit A and CNAME records Print

Use A and CNAME records when you need a subdomain, CDN, or external service.

• A record: maps a name to an IPv4 address (example: blog to your server IP).
• CNAME record: maps a name to another hostname (example: www to your root domain).

1. Open your DNS panel (domain registrar or OneiHost DNS if nameservers point to us).
2. Add or edit the record. Host/name is often @, www, or a subdomain.
3. Set TTL to the default value unless you have a reason to change it.
4. Save and wait for propagation before testing.

Do not create two conflicting records for the same host (for example both an A and a CNAME on www).
