To redirect an IP address to a domain name, you can set up a DNS A record for the domain name that points to the IP address. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Log in to your domain registrar or DNS hosting provider’s website where your domain name is registered.
  2. Navigate to the DNS management section of your domain settings.
  3. Find the option to add a new DNS record and choose “A” record type.
  4. Enter the domain name you want to redirect in the "Host" or "Name" field.
  5. In the "Points to" or "IP Address" field, enter the IP address that you want to redirect to.
  6. Save the changes and wait for the DNS records to propagate, which can take up to 24 hours.


Once the DNS records have propagated, visitors accessing the domain name will be redirected to the specified IP address.
