How to Point a Domain Name to an IP Address (DNS A record example)

Learn how to point a domain name to a VPS or server’s IP address with a DNS A record. Although I use Linode in this video, the same concepts apply for GoDaddy, Bluehost, Namecheap, and pretty much any other hosting provider.

    Hello, This question is Tony or anyone else that knows. Could you take this one step further. I have xampp and my website is locally installed on a Win10 machine. When I type localhost. or 127.0.0.1 or the specific ip address I want to see the actually wordpress site that I installed. Right now all I see is the XAMPP page. How can I configure it so it so when i type in either the domain name or ip address it shows my wordpress site Thank you in advance
