Configure DNS Records

To make your website accessible via a domain name instead of an IP address, you’ll need to set up DNS records.

• Access Your DNS Provider's Control Panel: Log into the DNS provider for your domain (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.).

• Add an ‘A’ Record:

  • Type: A
  • Name: @ (represents the root domain, e.g., yourdomain.com)
  • Value: Your server’s IP address (e.g., 123.45.67.89)
  • TTL: Set to Auto or 1 hour

• (Optional) Add a ‘www’ CNAME Record:

  • Type: CNAME
  • Name: www
  • Value: yourdomain.com
  • TTL: Auto or 1 hour

• Save all the DNS records.
