    point your A record to the IP.
    if you can tell your domain registrar may be i can look further into it for better explanation.

    The 'A' record is set on the servers where the DNS (name servers) assigned to the domain are pointing (hosted). So you have to contact the administrator of the DNS and ask them to set an A record for your domain name. If you are using your domain registrar's DNS servers, you have to ask your domain registrar. If you are using a 3rd party DNS, you have to contact them and similarly, if you are using your own DNS pointing to your own server, you have to set an A record on your own server.
