Using an A record for my domain?

I’m attempting to set up my Blot blog with my domain but my DNS provider doesn’t allow for ALIAS records to be set. I ended up just setting up an A record that points to Blot’s direct IP address. Would you anticipate this ever causing any issues?

I think you'll be fine with an A record and Blot's IP.

If Blot's IP changes (it shouldn't) the change will be gradual – I'll give people with A records plenty of warning and repeated nudges to update their DNS records to the new IP.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this or anything else.
