Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:55 pm

It can be difficult to find the information you need about how to add a DNS record to HostGator. You may need to search for an article that specifically discusses adding a DNS record for your domain name. To add a DNS record for your domain name, you will need to login to your HostGator account and navigate to the Domains section. Under the domain name, you will see the DNS section. In this section, you will need to add a DNS A record for your domain name. You will also need to add a DNS CNAME record for the www subdomain.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with DNS records or HostGator’s interface, you should not attempt to add a DNS record without first consulting with HostGator support or a qualified IT professional. Incorrectly adding a DNS record can cause serious problems with your website’s ability to resolve or load properly.

For example, if your domain name is example.com, you would add the DNS A record for example.com and the DNS CNAME record for www.example.com.
