This method is recommended for users who:
• Already purchased their domain from another provider
• Are using professional email on that domain
• Have other services configured on it
• Do not want to change their Name Servers
Instead of pointing your Name Servers to Builderall, you can simply point your domain to the website server using an IP address (A Record).
Practical Example
Imagine:
You purchased your domain from GoDaddy, Namecheap, HostGator, or you are using Cloudflare.
Your domain is already configured with:
• Business email
• Subdomains
• Other active services
If you change the Name Servers, those services might stop working.
That’s why in this case, the best approach is to keep the Name Servers where they are and simply configure the website IP inside your current DNS.
This process is called pointing via A Record.
What You Will Do in This Tutorial
You will:
• Access your domain provider’s control panel
• Go to the DNS management area
• Create two A records
• Enter the correct IP based on your server region
Without changing your Name Servers.
Before You Start
You will need:
• Access to your domain provider’s dashboard
• Access to the DNS manager
• Ability to create two A records
You do not need to change Name Servers.
Choose the Correct IP
Select only one IP based on your server region:
United States
64.251.1.115
Europe
141.147.2.163
Brazil
137.131.215.227
Singapore (covers Asia and Oceania)
161.118.202.243
Important:
• Singapore covers Asia and Oceania
• Use only the IP corresponding to your region
How to Configure It in Your Domain Provider
Log in to your domain provider and access the DNS section.
You must create two A records:
One with www
One without www
Example
Domain: vitamins.com
Selected server: United States
IP: 64.251.1.115
Create:
Record 1
Type: A
Host: vitamins.com
Value: 64.251.1.115
Record 2
Type: A
Host: www.vitamins.com
Value: 64.251.1.115
If your provider only asks for “www” in the Host field, simply enter www.
Important Information
• The record type must be A
• The value must be exactly the IP provided above
• Both records are required
• If another A record already exists pointing to a different IP, edit or replace it
Do I Need to Create a CNAME?
No.
Only A records are required.
After Configuration
Once saved:
• The domain may take up to 48 hours to fully work
• In many cases, it works within minutes
Temporary instability may occur during propagation.
Tip for Cloudflare Users
If your domain uses Cloudflare:
To allow the SSL certificate to be generated automatically, you must temporarily disable the proxy (set to DNS Only) for the A records.
After the SSL certificate is generated and the site works correctly with HTTPS, you can enable the proxy again.
FAQ

Up to 48 hours depending on DNS propagation.
Troubleshooting
Domain does not open
Check:
• Both records were created
• The IP is correct
• The website is published
• There is no conflicting A record
Works with www but not without www
You likely created only one record.
Make sure both exist.
SSL error appears
If using Cloudflare:
• Disable proxy temporarily
• Wait for SSL generation
• Re-enable proxy
Old website appears
This may be cache.
• Clear browser cache
• Test in incognito mode
• Wait for DNS propagation
