Adding A Records

Here's how to add an A Record on your Yola-bought domain:

  1. Login to your Yola account and make sure you are on the "My Sites" page
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tick the box next to "Enable advanced domain settings"
  3. You will be scrolled back up to the top, click on "Advanced domain settings".
  4. To access the domain settings, click on [Details] next to the related domain.
  5. To access the A Record, click on [Edit this?] next to DNS Entries.
  6. To add an A Record, make sure that "A" is selected next to "Add a new DNS Record Type" and click on the "Add" button (you'll need to add two if you would like your domain to work with 'www' and without).
  7. In the first A Record, leave the name blank and paste the IP address in the Value field.
  8. In the second A Record, add 'www' under the name and paste the IP address in the Value field.
  9. The original A Records will still remain but be overwritten.
  10. Please note that it can take up to 48 hours for this change to fully propagate across the internet (though usually a lot less).

Changing your domain settings can result in your site no longer working.
