Hi. I recently bought a domain name from GoDaddy, and I changed the A record to point to Tumblr. I really don’t like using my URL with Tumblr, because it’s not really a professional site. But before I changed the A-record, I didn’t think to copy it down. Can you please tell me how to restore it back to the A record given to me?

That all depends on what the IP was before. If it was just a parked page then it’s 64.202.189.170. Otherwise, if it was InstantPage, then it’s 97.74.42.79.

@ronnyl – There is no such thing as a default A record, so there is no direct answer to this question. What are you trying to point the domain name to?

As @Nate D explained, there are no default A Records. The A Record is determined by what service you are trying to use. For example, if you are trying to point your domain to a Web Hosting account, you would need to update the DNS for your domain to use that particular A Record.
