Why are there two (or more) A records for my website?
If you are coming from the VPS or shared hosting world you might seem its strange that your Pressidium website has two (or even more) A records instead of one.
This is so because your website is not hosted on just one server, but on a highly-available cluster of servers.
Your website will work if you accidentally put only one (or some) of the IPs, but will lose its load-balancing and fail-over ability.
It is strongly recommended to always add all A (or AAAA) DNS records provided by our “Add Domain” process when setting up your website’s domains (alternatively opt to use a CNAME, if applicable).
Need help?
If you are not sure which A records to add, or your DNS provider does not accept multiple A records, contact our Support team before changing DNS settings again.
Where to go next
- Find your website’s IP addresses if you need to confirm the correct IP addresses for your site.
- Set up your domain and DNS records if you need the full domain setup process.
- Check whether DNS changes have propagated after adding or updating A records.
- Enable SSL after the domain points to Pressidium.
