What is an A Record?
Address (A) Records are a type of Advanced DNS record that direct a domain or subdomain to an IP address (IPv4) of the server hosting the website. A Records consists of the Host Name, Address, and the TTL.

Host Name
This is the name of the record. Your domain name will automatically be appended to the end (example: if you enter "www" the record will change to "www.internicexample.com" when saved). If you enter "@" it will simply be replaced with the root domain (such as, internicexample.com).

Address (Points To)
This is the IP address (IPv4) to which the A Record will point.

TTL (Time To Live)
The TTL sets the amount of time in seconds for the record to stay cached before retrieving it again. The default TTL is 3600, which is approximately one hour. Lowering the TTL of a new record will not decrease the amount of time it takes for the record to update.

How do I edit/add my A Records?

Step 1.
Login to your Internic account and click Domain Manager.

Step 2.
Click directly on your domain name to access the domain editing page.

Step 3.
On the domain editing page, scroll down to Manage Advanced DNS Records and click on the link in this section.

Step 4.
To add an A record, click on Add New A Record and fill in the Host and Points To fields as instructed by your hosting service provider. You can leave the TTL as it is. To save your record click the green + sign under Actions.

To edit an existing A record, click the pencil icon under Actions and update the Host and/or Points To field, as instructed by your hosting service provider. You can leave the TTL as it is. To save your record click the green + sign under Actions.
