How to Point Your Domain to Veerhost Using A Records

Veerhost domains are connected by pointing DNS records to your server IP (not by changing nameservers). Once your A records are correct, visitors will reach your Veerhost server.

Before you start

You need:

• Your Veerhost server IP address
• Access to your domain’s DNS manager (where the DNS zone is hosted)

Step 1: Get your Veerhost server IP

Find the server IP in your Veerhost welcome email or inside cPanel (often in the sidebar or “Server Information”).

Step 2: Update the root domain (@)

In your DNS manager, create or edit an A record:

• Host/Name: @ (or leave blank, depending on provider)
• Type: A
• Value/Points to: your Veerhost server IP
• TTL: default is fine

Step 3: Update www

You have two good options:

• A record: www → same Veerhost IP
• OR CNAME: www → @ (recommended if your provider supports it)

Step 4: Remove conflicts

Make sure you don’t have:

• Another A record for @ pointing to a different IP
• A www record pointing to a different service
• Forwarding/redirect rules at the registrar overriding DNS

Step 5: Wait for DNS propagation

Most updates apply within a few hours, but may take up to 24–48 hours due to caching. Read more in our guide on DNS propagation.

Once propagation completes, you can verify your domain is pointing to Veerhost, and if you haven’t already, add the domain in cPanel so it serves your site.
