Custom domain with A record (not CNAME record)

PPEgaz

Hi,
I want to add a custom domain in one of my projects.
Docs says I need to add a CNAME record in my provider. Unfortunately it's not a subdomain but main domain and my provider told me I need to use A record instead of CNAME ... so I wanted to do it, but ... record A needs IP address to be inserted, not an address.
So please help me what IP address I need to provide ?

project ID: a6c82679-0cee-4169-9d24-90060e2cc48a

Looking forward to your help

Solution:

you won't be able to use an IP address because the IP address of the deployments are dynamic and shared, and a new deployment has a chance of having a different IP than the last one, this is why you do need to use a CNAME, and you will need to use nameservers that support root level cname aliases, namecheap, cloudflare, dnsimple, etc

Thank you for answer. It's a pity, I don't want to have another provider just for one domain only for this purpose 😦 We'll see how it goes, thanks again.

oh you dont need to transfer the domain, you only need to use their nameservers
