How to point a domain without changing name servers

My client has a website at exampleA.com, but want their new domain name exampleB.com to point to the server that hosts exampleA.com.

They have certain emails setup with exampleB.com...so I want to avoid changing the name servers, in case I mess with these settings (I don't know all the info yet).

If I simply want exampleB.com to point to a different server, what DNS records should I change? I have a static IP for the server.

enter image description here

Is it just the A record I need to modify? I'm not good with this DNS malarkey.

Thanks for your help. Mikey.

Yes, by changing A record in the domain account will solve the problem. In this case, you do not need to change the nameserver in the domain account

Yes, just update the A record. You may have to update the web server config file on exampleA.com server to listen and serve the requests for exampleB.com.

If the static IP address you have is in IPv6 format then you would have to update the AAAA DNS record.
