Updating DNS Settings at Your Domain Provider Your domain provider refers to the platform or service from where you purchased your domain (e.g., GoDaddy, BigRock).
Upon entering your domain name in LaunchMyStore, you'll receive 'A record' values. These values need updating in the DNS settings of your domain provider.
Steps to Update DNS Settings: Locate the DNS or Domain Management section within your domain provider's dashboard. This is where you can adjust domain-related settings.
Find and select the option to modify your 'A record'.
Update the 'A record' with the following details:
Type: A
Host: @
Points to: 103.181.194.5
TTL: 1 hour
