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 Store → Domains 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.
