How to set up the DNS for Peqi on HostGator


Once you have validated your site on the alternate URL in your Peqi dashboard and completed all IP releases on your hosting/server, now it's time to point your domain to our services. To do this, you need to access your account on HostGator and point to the following IPs:

151.101.1.91
151.101.129.91
151.101.193.91
151.101.65.91

Attention

When configuring your domain with Peqi, don't forget to check these guidelines:

1 - If your domain registered with Peqi includes "www" (for example, www.example.com.br), only point the "www" subdomain to the Peqi IPs.

2 - If your domain registered with Peqi does not include "www" (for example, example.com.br), directly point the main domain to the Peqi IPs.

It's important not to modify other DNS entries that are not registered with Peqi. Keep those DNS records pointing to their respective services, unless it's a reverse CNAME.

1 - For example, if the domain registered with Peqi is example.com.br and there's a CNAME entry for the "www" subdomain pointing to example.com.br, you should remove that CNAME and create an A record for "www" pointing to the actual IP of your hosting.

2 - Now, if the domain registered with Peqi is www.example.com.br and there's a CNAME entry for the main domain entry pointing to www.example.com.br, you should remove that CNAME and create an A record for the main entry.

Check the steps you should follow:

1) In the Hostgator Customer Portal, click on Domains, then on the Configure Domain option for the desired domain.
2) Click on Edit Advanced DNS Zone, read the information, and click on "Ok, continue to the DNS Zone" and click on Add Record.
3) Select type A and in the "Name" field, leave an "@" or empty if it is the root domain (example.com), otherwise add the subdomain, the Class and TTL fields can remain the default value.
4) In the "Value or IPV4" field, enter the first IP provided above by Peqi.
5) Click on Add, and do the same for the other IPs.

Do not forget to remove the IP that was configured before you add Peqi's IPs.
