### DNS Records

* Go to the **DNS Settings** page for your chosen domain name
* Add the following 3 DNS records: 

*   **Type:** A
*   **Host:** blank or @
*   **Points to (value):** 34.202.232.127

*   **Points to (value):** domains.transistor.fm

| Your custom domain configuration is now complete! Please note that these DNS records may take up to an hour to propagate.
