  7. Select A Record from the Type drop-down menu
  8. In the Points To field, enter 54.243.190.28

Note: To increase reliability you should create four A records and point each one to a different LaunchRock IP address:

    • 54.243.190.28
    • 54.243.190.39
    • 54.243.190.47
    • 54.243.190.54

    Congratulations! Your A record is now configured to point to LaunchRock.

    If you have trouble editing your A Records, you can check out the HostMonster tutorial pageOr, view a sample message to use when you contact HostMonster for further assistance.

    A CNAME record is required for your hosted Landing Page. Create your HostMonster CNAME record.
