Prerequisites

  • Access to your IONOS SE account with domain management permissions.

  • Zarla DNS configuration details:

    • A record IP address: 109.105.219.109

    • CNAME record value: custom.zarlasites.com

Steps

  1. Log in to IONOS Account
    Go to ionos.com and log in with your credentials.

  2. Access Domain Settings

    • Navigate to the Domains & SSL section from the dashboard.

    • Click on the domain name you wish to link to your Zarla website.

  3. Open DNS Settings

    • Locate and click on DNS or Manage DNS Settings.

    • You may have to click a gear (settings) icon next to the domain or select Advanced DNS Settings.

  4. Edit the A Record

    • Find the existing A record for the root domain (hostname usually shown as @ or blank).

    • Edit it to point to Zarla’s IP address: 109.105.219.109.

    • If no A record exists, add a new one with:

      • Type: A

      • Host/Name: @

      • Value/IP: 109.105.219.109

      • Save your changes.

  5. Edit the CNAME Record for www

    • Find the CNAME record for the subdomain www.

    • Edit it to point to custom.zarlasites.com.

    • If it doesn’t exist, add a new CNAME record with:

      • Type: CNAME

      • Host/Name: www

      • Value: custom.zarlasites.com

      • Save your changes.

  6. Remove Conflicting Records

    • Ensure there are no other conflicting A or CNAME records for the root domain or www subdomain.

    • Delete or update any records conflicting with the above.

Once done, please share a screenshot of the change with our Zarla Team to double check.
