  8. Choose A (Address) in the Record Type menu.

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.
