The "A record" is a DNS record used for pointing a domain or a subdomain to an IP address. You can add **A Record** using the cPanel's Zone Editor option.

**1.** Log in to your cPanel account.

**2.** In the **Domains** section, click on **Zone Editor**.

**3.** Under **Domains**, you can see many options below **Actions**.

**4.** Click on **A Record**, and a pop-up box will open. Please, enter the required details in it.
**Name:** Enter the name you want to add. For example, enter **blog** and the cPanel will automatically add a domain name such as blog.example.com.
**Address:** Enter the IP Address of the server.

**5.** Now click on **Add an A Record**.

**Congratulations**, you have successfully added **A Record**. The DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours.
