  3. Find the domain for which you want to update the DNS records. Type the domain in the Search box and click it.

  4. You'll then be taken to the DNS records for that domain.

    For the A Records;

    • If you already have an @ A record for the domain, click the pencil icon on the right of the entry and change the Value to 54.247.91.90, then click the green tick.

      Example of old record;

      New record;

    • If you don't already have an @ A record for the domain, click Add at the bottom right of the page, select A from the Type drop-down, enter @ in the Host field, and enter 54.247.91.90 in the Value field, then click Save.

    For the CNAME Records;

    • If you already have a www CNAME record for the domain, click the entry and change the Value to yourwebsite.client.bypronto.com.

  5. Ensure you replace yourwebsite.client.bypronto.com with the location provided by your Project Manager.

    Ensure you don't have any other @ or www entries for this domain, or entries with your domain in the Value column, or you will create a DNS conflict after updating the record.
     
  6. It will take some time for your DNS to propagate around the world - it can take up to 48 hours, but sometimes takes as little as 10 minutes. Once this process is completed, your new website will be live. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to get in touch and we can assist.
