# 2. Point the domain to fortrabbit

Use the provided DNS information from the fortrabbit dashboard to change the domain routing with your domain provider.

  • For sub domains like www, use the CNAME record
  • Apex domains get an A record for forwarding
  • Leave any other records untouched, especially MX
  • Remove any AAAA records (IPV6)

Save the settings with your domain provider and wait a while. The while depends on the TTL settings of the DNS records, or usually up to 6h.
