To create A record, please follow the step below

Step 1: Go to Domains

Once you are in the Add DNS Record page, click on the Select type menu. This should show you many options of which you need to select A to add A record.

Step 4: Input TTL

Enter a numeric value (seconds) in the text area.

TTL (Time To Live), is always listed in seconds. This means that if an A record gets updated, it XX seconds (specified seconds) to take effect.

Step 5: Input Weight

Enter 2 digit numeric value less than or equal to 10.

Weight is the probability of resolving the query. For example, if there are two A records, and the weights are defined as 6 and 4 respectively. The query will resolve the 1st A record 60% of the times and the 2nd 40% of the times.

Note: Default weight restriction is 10 or below.
