Connect any domain from any provider in simple 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 is like updating your address so that when someone types your domain into their browser, they are directed to your website hosted on Vsble.

However, when making these changes, it is crucial to check for old or existing records that could prevent your domain from connecting properly. Some of the most 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 A records you are setting.
Other A records for the root domain or “www” that are pointing to a different IP address, which can cause conflicts and 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.
Additionally, different domain providers use different placeholders for the root domain. While many use “@”, others may require “*”, “.”, or even an empty field. It is always best to check your domain provider’s documentation or FAQ to confirm which placeholder to use.
After updating your DNS settings, the changes may take some time to take effect. This process, called 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.
