Default A Records
Hi Everyone,

This is my first experience using a VPS. That being said I am quite happy. My question is related to "A Records". Can someone explain what they do? I know that they are related to e-mail. And if I need to do anything in WHM once my DNS has propagated over to Hostican.

Nope, just point to that IP and you should be fine?
