How to Adjust a Prefix to Domain A Record
Your domain's A Record tells other computers on the Internet where to find your domain. You also have CNAME records associated with your domain that can have prefixes that tell others specific places to go for some functions. If you need to adjust your A Record prefixes, you need to make sure that the A Record is correct and then change the CNAME prefixes associated with it. The process is different but similar for different hosting providers.
