Step by Step Instructions:
Go to your DNS provider and:
Step #1: Create a CNAME record pointing to the host www. to the destination domain, and for the TTL I recommend putting the lowest value. Step #2: You need to add 2 New Records
- 1 for the first IP Address and 1 for the second IP Address.
- Click the Add New Record button in your DNS provider and select A Record.
- Input “@” at the Host, if your provider doesn’t accept the “@” symbol you just need to input your domain name.
- And then, input the IP Address and choose again your TTL.
Note: Same procedure for the 2nd IP Address
- Once you’ve done these things go ahead and Back. Hit the Save button.
