DNS Settings for Umbrella Websites

Overview:
To connect your custom domain to your Umbrella website, you need to configure your DNS settings through your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains). This ensures that visitors can access your site using your chosen web address.

Follow the steps below to properly set up your A Records and CNAME Record.

Step 1: Access Your Domain’s DNS Settings

1. Log in to your domain registrar account (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).

2. Locate the DNS Settings or DNS Management section.

Step 2: Add A Records

You will need to create two A Records for your domain. These records ensure load balancing and redundancy for your website.

First A Record:

• Host/Alias: @

• Target/Destination: 35.172.94.1

Second A Record:

• Host/Alias: @

• Target/Destination: 100.24.208.97

Note:
Some domain hosts do not allow multiple A Records for the “@” (root) domain.
If your registrar restricts this, create a single A Record for “@” and list both IP addresses (if your provider supports it), or only use one of the provided IPs if necessary.

Step 3: Add the CNAME Record

This record ensures that the www version of your domain redirects correctly to your Umbrella site.

CNAME Record:

• Host: www

• Points to: s.multiscreensite.com

Step 4: Save Your Changes

Once all records are entered, save the settings.
It may take up to 24–48 hours for DNS changes to fully propagate across the internet.

Step 5: Verify Your Connection

After propagation, visit your domain (with and without “www”) to confirm your Umbrella website is loading correctly.

Tip:
If your site does not appear after 48 hours, clear your browser cache or check your DNS setup using an online DNS checker (e.g., whatsmydns.net).
