# Pointing DNS to a VPS

DNS records are used to point a domain to Sumopod services.

## Steps

1. Open the DNS management page on your domain provider.

4. Save the changes and wait for DNS propagation.

## Notes
- CNAME records can only be managed through Cloudflare. You need to change your nameservers to Cloudflare to add a CNAME record.
