Connect Any Domain from Any Provider in a Few Steps
Anyone can connect an existing domain from any provider by simply adding or updating two DNS records in the domain’s settings. These records, called A records, tell the internet where to find your website. To connect your domain to Vsble, you need to set both the root domain (“@”) and the “www” subdomain to point to the Vsble IP address 94.130.249.72.
In simple terms, this means updating your website’s address so that when visitors type your domain into their browser, they are directed straight to your website hosted on Vsble.
Important Checks Before Connecting
When making these changes, it is essential to check for old or existing records that could prevent your domain from connecting properly. Common issues include:
CNAME records for “www”, which can override A records and redirect traffic incorrectly.
AAAA records for the root domain or “www”, which may conflict with the new A records.
Other A records for the root domain or “www”, which point to a different IP address and could prevent Vsble from handling your domain correctly.
To ensure a smooth connection, these conflicting records should be removed or adjusted before adding the new A records.
Different Placeholders for the Root Domain
Different domain providers use different placeholders for the root domain. While many use “@”, some require “*”, “.”, or even an empty field. It is always best to check your provider’s documentation or FAQ to confirm which placeholder to use.
DNS Propagation – Waiting Time After Changes
After updating your DNS settings, it may take some time for the changes to take effect. This process, known as DNS propagation, can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours, depending on your domain provider. Once the changes are active, your domain will be successfully connected to your Vsble website.
