How Do I Set The A Record For 1&1?

Setting the A Record

You can only edit the A record of a domain that is hosted with 1&1.

It is suggested to read why a domain's DNS settings are unable to be modified in case you encounter this problem during the steps below.

  • Log in to the 1&1 Control Panel using your Customer ID OR domain name and your password. If you have only one package, you will land on the Administration page. If you have more than one package, select the package in question to reach its Administration page.
  • Click the Domain Center link from the Domains panel
  • Check the box next to the domain and click the Edit DNS Settings button from the Domain Settings tab
  •  If the domain is not currently set to use the 1&1 name servers, you will not be able to change the IP address within the 1&1 Control Panel. You will need to update the IP address with your current DNS host.
  • Select Other IP address and enter 52.39.109.56 (the IP address) within the text boxes. Each number separated by a dot(.) should be typed into a separate text box.
  • Click the Save button when finished
  • A confirmation is displayed that the domains will be updated. As with all DNS settings, it may take 24-48 hours until the settings are fully updated and recognized by all server/computers on the Internet.
