I've looked but can't find (or missed) any explanation of the way my domain's DNS Management should be set up. I have one Type A pointing to my IP address, what should the second parked "Type A" do? Do I need a subdomain for "www.mysite.com" after setting the main domain to "mysite.com". What is the best practice?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes, the @ symbol represents your bare domain, delete any that don't point where you want them to go.
The proper DNS records are based on the services you use with the domain, like website hosting and email. The A record below would point the bare domain to your hosting IP address, and the CNAME would point www.yourdomain.com to the same IP address as the bare domain.
Type | Host/name | Points to/value |
A | @ | [your hosting IP address] |
CNAME | www | @ |
Thanks. When I do that I end of with three Type A records. One to my real IP, a second to "parked", and a third to a Godaddy IP address. Do I delete the second two, or?
Yes, the @ symbol represents your bare domain, delete any that don't point where you want them to go.
Thanks again. It won't allow editing/deleting the second A Type that points to the Godaddy IP address but the other's gone.
