## Ziel

Sie möchten, dass Ihre Website über Ihren Domainnamen erreichbar ist? Hierzu muss Ihr Domainname auf die IP-Adresse des Dienstes verweisen, auf dem sich Ihre Website befindet (Webhosting, Dedicated Server, VPS...). Konfigurieren Sie anschließend die aktive DNS-Zone Ihrer Domain mit einem DNS-Eintrag vom Typ A.

**Erfahren Sie, wie Sie einen DNS-Eintrag vom Typ A zu einer von OVHcloud verwalteten DNS-Zone für Ihre Domain hinzufügen.**

> [!primary]
>
> Befolgen Sie [diese Anleitung](/pages/web_cloud/domains/dns_zone_edit), um einen DNS-Eintrag vom Typ A aus einer OVHcloud DNS-Zone zu ändern oder zu löschen.

## Voraussetzungen

- Sie besitzen eine [Domain](/links/web/domains).
- Sie besitzen eine diesem Domainnamen zugeordnete DNS-Zone bei OVHcloud.
- Sie sind in Ihrem [OVHcloud Kundencenter](/links/manager) eingeloggt und befinden sich im Bereich `Web Cloud`{.action}.

## In der praktischen Anwendung

> [!warning]
>
> Das Hinzufügen, Ändern oder Löschen von DNS-Einträgen in einer aktiven DNS-Zone ist ein schwieriges Unterfangen. Im Zweifelsfall wenden Sie sich an einen [spezialisierten Dienstleister](/links/partner).

### Einen DNS-Eintrag vom Typ A für eine Domain hinzufügen

5. Überprüfen Sie die Zusammenfassung, und klicken Sie auf `Bestätigen`{.action}. Warten Sie bis **24** Stunden, bis die Propagation des Hinzufügens im DNS-Netzwerk voll wirksam ist.

Want your website to be accessible via your domain name? To do this, your domain name must point to the IP address of the service your website is located on (web hosting plan, dedicated server, VPS, etc.). You will then need to configure your domain name’s active DNS zone using an A-type DNS record.

**Find out how to add an A-DNS record to an OVHcloud DNS zone for your domain name.**

> [!primary]

> To modify or delete an A DNS record of an OVHcloud DNS zone, follow [this guide](/pages/web_cloud/domains/dns_zone_edit).

## Requirements

- A [domain name](/links/web/domains).
- A DNS zone associated with this domain name at OVHcloud.
- Access to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](/links/manager), in the `Web Cloud`{.action} section.

## Instructions

> [!warning]
>
> Adding, modifying or deleting DNS records in an active DNS zone is a tricky task. If in doubt, contact a [specialist provider](/links/partner).
