Both Linode and Namecheap say that the changes I have made will take some time, usually 24 - 48 hours, to take effect. In computer jargon, this is known as a "DNS propagation delay".

### Use the DNS Manager to Add a New Record to Your Domain

Within my domain list in Linode's dashboard, there is a button called "Create Domain".
To add my new domain name, I will click on this button.

I have added a temporary email _[email protected]_ which does not exist yet. "Create Domain" button will create this new domain and redirect me to Linode's domain management page.
At first, this might look very intimidating, but it is actually very simple. What I am interested in here is to add some DNS records to my domain. Example of DNS records are A records, CNAME records, MX records, and TXT records.

The first record that I am going to add is an A record. This record is used to point my domain name to a specific IP address. I will use the IP address of my Linode. This record requires the following fields:
93
+
94
+
-`Hostname`: This is the domain name that I want to point to my IP address.
95
+
-`IP Address`: This is the IP address that I want to point to my domain name.
96
+
-`TTL`: This is the time to live of the record. It sets the lifespan of the cache for the DNS record
97
+
98
+
I will click on "Add an A/AAAA Record" button to update my hostname, IP address, and TTL.
I have added my host name as `www`, my IP address as 212.71.247.241 and I left TTL as it was, that is "Default". The IP address that I am using currently is different from the one you saw in [the previous tutorial](deploy_on_linode.md). This is because I recreated the entire project and obtained a new IP address. Moving forward, I will be using this new IP address.
