{% endhint %}
### Configure your domain
You need to configure your domain before you can publish your app to that domain. To do so, add the Thunkable IP address (34.136.177.42) to the A record of your domain which you can usually find in the DNS section of your domain provider.
Here are the instructions from some popular domain name providers:
* [Namecheap](https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/319/2237/how-can-i-set-up-an-a-address-record-for-my-domain/)
* [AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/ResourceRecordTypes.html#AFormat)
* [Digital Ocean](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/how-to/manage-records/)
* [Google Domains](https://support.google.com/a/answer/2579934?sjid=10421762873183766212-EU\&src=supportwidget0\&hl=en\&authuser=0)
* [GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-an-a-record-19238)
DNS synchronization often takes less than an hour but may take up to 72 hours. If your domain is not connecting within 48 hours, we recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
* Confirm the IP address added to your A record is the correct IP (34.136.177.42).
* Ensure you are using `http://` and not `https://`.
