I want to make a domain point to my Heroku app, so I am trying to create an A record that targets myapp.herokuapp.com.
The problem is that the domain provider requires an IP address, and I cannot find any IP address for my Heroku app. I guess it might be something about Heroku only having dynamic IP addresses (and thus no static IP addresses).
How can I fix this problem? Can I make Heroku use static IP addresses?

Instead of an A record, use a CNAME (alias) record. CNAMEs point to other names. So you don't have to worry about knowing the IP.

You cannot useCNAMErecords on a zone apex
– Torin
Nov 20 '18 at 9:27
Generally speaking, that's correct. But there are a number of DNS providers that now provide virtual CNAME records that can be used on the zone apex. The server implementations basically resolve the A records at query time and return them as if you had added a normal A record.
– Ryan Bolger
Nov 20 '18 at 16:15
Some DNS providers use a virtual record type generally called anALIAS(distinct fromCNAME) which acts likeCNAMEonly forAandAAAArecord types. No DNS provider should ever treat aCNAMErecord like this since it's completely incorrect behaviour. It is very specific how aCNAMEshould be handled, including that it should never be at a zone apex.
– Torin
Nov 20 '18 at 16:35
I modified my example to remove the apex CNAME, because you're right that it's wrong. But like you said, the solution for apex records is still possible depending your your DNS provider.
