 A Records (IP Addresses)

All servers connected to the Internet are assigned a unique IP address. An A record associates a name to the server IP address, allowing people to use easy-to-remember domain names (rather than hard-to-remember IP addresses) to connect to a website. For example, you could enter the IP address 216.168.224.69 in your Web browser to reach the Network Solutions®® website, or you could simply enter www.NetworkSolutions.com.

Before you begin editing A records, you should:

·         Know the associated IP addresses

·         Understand that DNS updates will take up to 2 hours to take effect (updates may resolve more quickly at some locations than others because many name servers on the Internet retrieve updates at different times).

To update A records

1.     Log in to Account Manger

2.     Within Account Manager, use the drop down under My Domain Names to choose the domain you’d like to manage and click the Go button

3.     In the green box, select Change Where Domain Points

4.     Select Advanced DNS

5.     Click the Continue button

6.     If the domain name was not previously pointed to Network Solutions® nameservers (DNS) you will receive a page with messaging regarding this change.  If you’d like to continue, click the Move Nameservers to Network Solutions® button

7.     In the IP Address (A Records) section, click Edit A Records

8.     Your current A records are listed in editable form, and any Network Solutions® service that is associated with the A record is listed below the Numeric IP text box

9.     The first three hosts listed are the most common hosts used with domain names:

o    www : Points to the specified IP address when Internet users enter an address, such as www.jimbikes.com

o     @ (none) : Points to the specified IP address when a user enters just the domain name without anything before it, such as jimsbikes.com

o    * (All OThers) : Points any unassociated host for a domain name to the specified IP address, similar to a catch-all feature that could be used for any misspelled host names

To add or edit A records

1.     Enter or edit the new host name in the Host column

2.     If needed, modify the TTL settings (7200 is the default)

3.     Enter or edit the IP number under the Numeric IP Address column in any remaining empty row
