How to Add "A Record" in cPanel
The "A record" is a DNS record used to point a domain or a subdomain to an IP address. You can add an A record using cPanel's Zone Editor option.
Steps to Add an A Record
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- In the Domains section, click on Zone Editor.
- Under Domains, you will see several options below Actions.
- Click on A Record, and a pop-up box will open. Enter the required details in it:
- Name: Enter the name you want to add. For example, enter blog, and cPanel will automatically add a domain name such as blog.example.com.
- Address: Enter the IP address of the server.
- Now click on Add an A Record.
Congratulations, you have successfully added an A record. Please note that DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours. It may take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours for the changes to take effect worldwide.
