How to Manually Change the “A” Record from Cloudflare?

While Cloudflare typically auto-syncs DNS records from your hosting provider, there are instances where you may need to manually update the "A" record to point your domain to a new IP address.

???? Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Log in to your Cloudflare account
   Go to https://dash.cloudflare.com and sign in.

2. Select your domain
   From the dashboard, click on the domain name you wish to manage.

3. Go to the DNS tab
   Click on the DNS option from the top menu. This will display all DNS records associated with your domain.

4. Locate the “A” record
   Find the existing A record that corresponds to your domain (e.g., @ or yourdomain.com). This is the primary record that directs traffic to your website.

5. Edit the IP address
   Click Edit next to the relevant record. Replace the existing IP address with your server’s new IP.

   ???? If you're unsure about the correct IP, please contact your hosting provider for assistance.

6. Save changes
   Click Save to apply the new IP address. DNS changes can take a few minutes to propagate, but in some cases, it might take up to 24 hours globally.

By updating the “A” record, you ensure that your domain points to the correct hosting server and your website remains accessible.
