How Do I Set A WordPress A Record?

Setting an A Record

Setting a custom A record is only available if you already added a custom domain to your blog.

Your domain’s settings live under StoreDomains in your dashboard. Every custom domain you added to your blog will have an Edit Domain link next to it.

  • Click on Edit Domain to open the domain management screen
  • Click on Edit DNS on the left to see your DNS records
  • Go to Existing DNS Records
  • Click on the pencil icon to edit the DNS record
  • Confirm that you want to edit the A record by clicking on OK
  • Enter 52.39.109.56 (the IP address) in the Points to field
  • Click Add
  • Confirm the correct IP address (52.39.109.56)
  • Click Save Changes

The domain will start pointing to your new host immediately after you save your changes.
