I have problems connecting my domain to my new Houfy website

To properly connect your domain to your Houfy website follow these instructions below. Please make sure to exactly follow these steps:

A record settings

The A record specifies the IP addresses from IPv4 (internet protocol version 4) corresponding to your domain and its subdomains. By default this is your site IP address with us. If you want to edit an A record so that part of your site points to another server, you need to know the IPv4 address of this server and insert it in the corresponding field.

A-Record: Give the Houfy IP-Address: 52.38.84.108

Make sure you only point to Houfy and not any other IP-Addresses

CNAME record settings

The CNAME record specifies redirects from your domain’s subdomains to other domains/subdomains. A valid domain/host should be provided as a destination for the CNAME record as it does not accept IP addresses.

  • Enter www in the name section (DO NOT Add anything else)
  • Enter your domain name.com in the resolves to section.
  • Click on create
