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.
