In the **Name** line, enter the symbol «**@** » to apply the entry to the **address**, **not the subdomain**. Specify the **IP address** to which our domain should refer and click **OK**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Record Types:\
&#x20;**A** — specifies the address the domain will reference.\
**АААА** — is also used to link to a domain, but under **IPv6-адреса**.\
**NS** — to specify the DNS server that will use the domain(**ns1.spacecore.pro ns2.spacecore.pro**).\
**MX** — the record specifies the mail server for the domain name.\
**TXT** — attaches text information to the domain, usually used to confirm domain name ownership.\
**SRV** —most often used to specify data under special protocols (for example: **SIP, XMPP**).\
**CNAME** — the record creates aliases for the domain.\
**DNAME** —is used to create aliases, but only subdomain, without affecting the primary domain name.\
**PTR** — links the IP address to the domain name, usually required for mail services.\
**CAA** —specifies the certified certification authorities.\
**DS** — entry specifies the key to use**DNSSEC**.\
**TLSA** — is used to **TLS-аутентификации**.
{% endhint %}

Done, our **A-record** successfully added.

Now we just have to wait.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that if you rent your server from us, the **DNS** update will take a few minutes.&#x20;

In case of renting hardware (not domain) from another provider, the upgrade can take up to **48 hours**.
{% endhint %}
