How to configure DNS settings for Rocket.net Managed WordPress at any provider

Learn how to configure DNS settings for Rocket.net Managed WordPress at any DNS provider.

To use your Rocket.net Managed WordPress site with any DNS provider not documented in our KB (such as Google Domains, Register.com, BlueHost, Hostgator, etc.), you do the following:

  • Edit the A record for the apex domain (the domain without www, such as example.com).
  • Edit the CNAME record for www.example.com.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Locate your Rocket URL on the Rocket Dashboard:

    1. Log in to the Hosting Panel at https://my.hosting.com.

    2. In the left sidebar, click Managed WordPress:

    3. On the My Websites page, locate the site, and then click Manage:

    4. The Rocket URL appears at the top of the page (for example, abc123.onrocket.site).

  2. Log in to your DNS provider account.

  3. Update your domain's DNS records:

    • For Rocket site URLs that end in onrocket.site, use the following values:

      • A records for example.com: 104.19.154.92 and 104.19.155.92

      • CNAME record for www.example.com: ___.onrocket.site

        📘

        Note

        Some providers may only let you use one A record. In this case, use 104.19.154.92.

    • For Rocket site URLs that end in wpdns.site, use the following values:

      • A records for example.com: 104.18.211.89 and 104.18.185.50
      • CNAME record for www.example.com: ___.wpdns.site

    📘

    Note

    It may take up to 24 hours for DNS to fully propagate around the world. However, typically these changes take place in just a few minutes.
