THIS is exactly what I was looking for! Your explanation about why it's better to use an A record instead of a CNAME is what I was trying to figure out for the last day, since I've read and watched a bunch of tutorials suggesting one method or the other, but never explaining the differences or that you could do either one. Thank you!

This is great, thank you. Question, If I move my site files to a different host server but keep my emails hosted on a different server, Can I just update the A records IP to the new server hosting the files? I do not want it to impact where my emails are currently hosted. I thought this was correct until I saw this video. I was told changing the CNAME in this case would not work.

Hi Tony, I recently transferred my domain that I purchased from NameCheap to Google. (Thanks to your helpful video) However, now I don't know what to do with my DNS. (This is all a new language to me) Now that the transfer is complete I tried to create a webpage in google, but it says, "Can’t connect, domain in use"- and also my domain is "already managed by another service provider. To continue, enter a different subdomain. To use this subdomain, disconnect it and try again." So now I am searching for videos on what to do next, but cant seem to find the answers. Do you happen to have a tutorial on this issue?

quick question Tony.. I recently linked my custom domain to my github pages repo and set my DNS records with CNAME only and I have been waiting for DNS check to complete for 2 days now. Is it okay to only use the CNAME record without the A on my DNS records?

Hi Tony! I'm currently creating a new website for a client who has previously had everything on wordpress. The website has a few subdomains and the client wants to keep those as one of them is for their shop. I'm designing a new website with WIX and was wondering if if i change the cname and A name records for the main domain, will it affect any of the subdomains that they have? Thanks!
@TonyTeachesTech
@TonyTeachesTech 2 жыл бұрын
Depends on what the values of those A and CNAME records are. If it helps, there will be a record (A or CNAME) for the subdomain, so as long as you don't touch that (or the corresponding A) then you should be okay

Hello ~ I am so confused about NS and CNAME as both of them are point to A record. May I know their differences, application and location stored in , such as TLD or authoritative ?

A name server (NS) tells you where the resources records are located such as CNAME, A, etc

Every device connected to the internet has an IP address... your phone, computer, etc. In the case of this video, the IP address is that of the server that hosts the website. Hope that clarifies!
