How to point your domain at a website

To make example.com and www.example.com load your site:

1. Get the IPv4 address of your web server or host (and IPv6 if it has one).
2. In DNS, add an A record: host @, value = the server's IPv4 address.
3. Add www: either an A record for www to the same IP, or a CNAME for www pointing to example.com.
4. If the host provides IPv6, add an AAAA record for @ (and www) with the IPv6 address.
5. Save and wait for the TTL to allow propagation.

Gotchas:

• Don't put a CNAME on the root (@) — CNAME can't coexist with the other records a root needs (like MX). Use an A record for the root.
• If the site still doesn't load, confirm the A record IP is correct and that the server actually serves your domain.
