An A entry, also known as an A record or an address record, is a part of your server’s DNS zone files. The A entry points a hostname or domain to an IP address, which allows other computers to find your server on the internet. 4. To add an A entry, perform the following steps:
- Enter your server’s IP address in the available text box.

Your domain name now points to the server’s main IP address.
