An A (Address) record is a type of DNS (Domain Name System) record that links a domain name to a specific numerical address of the server where the website or service is hosted, this is called IPv4 address.
So when you copy the shared or dedicated IP address of your hosting and paste it in the A record of your DNS, it will ensure that when someone types your domain name in the web browser, it will open your website by resolving to the correct IP address of the server that is hosting your website.
To update your domain name’s IP address in the A record on Sangkrit.net, you will need to follow these steps:
Step 1. Log In to Sangkrit.net
- Visit System.Sangkrit.net.
- Click “Sign In” at the top-right corner and enter your account credentials.
Step 2. Access Your Domain Settings
- Once logged in, click on your username and select “My Products” from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the “Domains” section.
- Locate the domain you want to update and click on “DNS” next to it to manage the DNS settings.
Step 3. Find the A Record
- On the DNS Management page, scroll down to the “Records” section.
- Look for the A (Host) record, which should have a value like “@” under the Host column and your current IP address under the Points to column.
Step 4. Edit the A Record
- Next to the A record, click on the pencil icon to edit the entry.
- In the “Points to” field, enter the new IP address you want to assign to your domain.
Step 5. Save Changes
- After updating the IP address, click Save to apply the changes.
Now allow DNS propagation time as changes can take some time to propagate across the internet, usually within a few minutes to 48 hours.
Following these steps, you can easily update your domain’s IP address in the A record on Sangkrit.net.
