# How to point your domain

Once you’ve connected your Nameservers you can use the ” Zone Editor ” tool available on cPanel to create an A Record for your Server IP.

1. **Getting your Server IP**

Firstly you have to login in your Online Control Panel to get your server IP.
Note that you **must** own a [Dedicated IP](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/what-is-a-dedicated-ip-idqhqo/) in your server, and once you have it you can copy the **IP**.

On the example below the Server **IP** is **123.456.789.101** and the Server Port is 25565.


Now that you’ve already copied the Numerical Server IP you’re ready to setup it in your **cPanel**.

2. **Setting Up in your cPanel**

You can login in your [cPanel](https://web.ggservers.com:2083/) account using the credentials that GGServers emailed to you.
Scroll down to ” **Domains** ” and click on the DNS ” **Zone Editor** “.


Click to create a new ” **A Record** “.


A Box will pop-up.
Just set a prefix for your IP and paste it on the second box.
Click on ” **Add an A Record** ” and Done!


Your DNS has been set!
**NOTE:**
It can take up to **48 hours** for total DNS propagation.
