If you do not want to change nameservers, you can still point a domain to your GARMTECH hosting by creating DNS records (A/CNAME) at your current DNS provider (for example, Cloudflare or a registrar DNS).
Before you start
- You must know the server IP address of your hosting service.
- Your DNS provider must allow editing records for the domain.
1) Find your hosting server IP address
You can usually find it in one of these places:
- My.GARMTECH: open your hosting service details and look for Server IP (or similar field).
- Plesk: open your domain and go to Hosting Settings / Web Hosting Access — the IP address is shown in hosting parameters.
If you cannot find the IP address in your client area, open a support ticket from My.GARMTECH and mention the domain name. (/tickets/create/step1)
2) Create DNS records at your DNS provider
Most websites need these records:
| Record |
Name |
Value |
Notes |
| A |
@ |
Your hosting server IP |
Points the root domain (example.com) |
| CNAME |
www |
@ or example.com |
Points www to the root domain |
3) Wait for DNS propagation
- DNS updates are not instant. Allow time for changes to propagate.
- If you recently changed records, clear your browser cache and DNS cache on your device.
Common mistakes
- Wrong IP address: make sure you use the IP of your hosting service, not your domain registrar’s parking IP.
- Proxy/CDN issues: if you use Cloudflare, start with DNS only (grey cloud) until the site works correctly, then enable proxy if needed.
- Email stops working: if your email is also hosted at GARMTECH, make sure your DNS provider also has correct MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.
