Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to change the A record for your domain hosted with GoDaddy. 


Step 1: Sign In to Your GoDaddy Account


  • Visit the GoDaddy website and sign in to your account using your credentials.


Step 2: Access Domain Settings


  • Once logged in, navigate to your domain portfolio. Find the domain for which you want to change the "A" record and click on it to access the domain settings page.


Step 3: Open DNS Management


  • In the domain settings section, locate and click on DNS or Manage DNS. This will take you to the DNS management page where all your DNS records are listed.



Step 4: Edit Existing A Record 


  • To Edit an Existing A Record: Look for the A record entry in the list (it will usually have "@" in the Name column).
  • Click on the Edit button next to the "A" record. Replace the current IP address (64.91.245.202) in the Value field with your new site IP address. 
  • Click save to apply the changes.



Important Note:

  • If your domain already has an A record, do not create a new one. Instead, edit the existing A record.
  • If multiple A records point to different servers, this could cause issues. Make sure only one A record is pointing to the correct server.
  • If you’re unsure, contact your domain registrar's support team for assistance.


DNS Propagation

After updating your DNS, it can take up to 24-48 hours for the changes to propagate worldwide. This process, called DNS propagation, is the time it takes for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) around the world to update their caches with your new DNS information.

During this period:

  • Some visitors may still be directed to the old server, while others will see the new site almost immediately.
