Connect your domain at IONOS
Add two records at IONOS so your site works whether visitors type
yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com. It takes a couple of minutes.
Record 1: your root domain
Record type: A
Name / Host: @ (means your root domain)
Value / Points to: 138.197.57.119
Record 2: www
Record type: CNAME
Name / Host: www
Value / Points to: bizporch.com
Step 1: add the A record (your root domain)
- Log in to IONOS and open Domains & SSL, then find your domain.
- Under Actions, click the three-dots menu (
⋯) and choose DNS. - Click Add record and select A.
- Leave Host name empty (or type
@) for the root domain. In Points to, enter 138.197.57.119. - Leave TTL at the default and click Save.
Step 2: add the www record
Add this so www.yourdomain.com reaches your site too (we redirect it to your main address automatically):
Add record → CNAME → Host name www → Points to bizporch.com → Save.

Good to know
- For the root domain, enter
@ or leave the host empty — never the full domain. - Changes usually take effect within an hour.
Last step: once you’ve added the record, open your BizPorch dashboard, go to
Custom Domain, and enter your domain. We check your DNS automatically and turn on
a free security certificate as soon as it points here. DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours.
