E) How to point your domain to your WordPress site
Before we can start you will need to copy your Pod's IPv4 address from " Pod Management" > "List Pods" under the Networks column:
Making modifications to your domain name is done by going to the JungleWP control panel under " DNS Management" and selecting your domain name.
An A record is created with the following format using the examples below:
- You will find Your Domain records (DNS Records) in your Control Panel under "DNS Management" > "List DNS records".
- To point your domain name to your Pod, we need to create a Root domain (Type A) and a CNAME for our www subdomain.
Ex 1: For our domain junglewp.net, we need to add an A record that points to our Pod IP address.
If you want to add www to this domain, you can create a CNAME record ( www.junglewp.net) that points to junglewp.net

In the eventuality that you want to create a different subdomain maybe for a different site, the following steps are very similar.
Ex 2: For our subdomain panda.junglewp.net, we need to add an A record that points to my Pod IP address.
If you want to add www to this sub-domain, you can create a CNAME record ( www.panda.junglewp.net) that points to panda.junglewp.net
