  I have created a website with Weebly and need to point my domain to their 199.34.228.100 IP Address. Can you either set this up for me or provide me with instructions on how to make the necessary changes? I need to create A-Records for “www” and for “*” or “@”. If you need more info on these changes, please see:

  Note that I want to keep using you as my domain registrar. I am not requesting a transfer and do not have new name servers.

  Thanks!

  Do you have any advice for someone who doesn’t know their way around all this? I don’t really know what an A record should look like….

  An A record should be in this form:

  A <subdomain> <IP>
