: What DNS records are needed to point a domain to an IP address? I have a newly registered domain ice-hot.co.uk which I have bought from 123-reg.co.uk and I want to point it to IP address
I have a newly registered domain ice-hot.co.uk which I have bought from 123-reg.co.uk and I want to point it to IP address 94.76.224.52 which is a VPS hosted by a different company.
What DNS records do I need to create on 123-reg.co.uk in order to point ice-hot.co.uk and ice-hot.co.uk to 94.76.224.52? Is the following anywhere close to correct?...
ice-hot.co.uk. A 94.76.224.52
www CNAME ice-hot.co.uk
As usual, documentation is long on explanations but short on examples. The 123-reg.co.uk tech support just keep quoting parts of their "help" manual back at me.

Apart from the obvious typo in the IP address, that will do fine as long as you're happy for 123-reg.co.uk to act as the authoritative name server for the domain (which means that if their name servers go down, then your website is effectively offline), you don't care what happens to email sent to @ice -hot.co.uk email addresses, and you don't have an IPV6 address that you want to use as well.
