1. Access Bluehost Account:

Log in to your Bluehost hosting account.

From the side navigation menu, click on the 'Domains' tab, and then on the 'Zone Editor' option.

Use the dropdown box to select your preferred domain.

4. Access 'Add DNS Record':

Scroll down until you reach the heading 'Add DNS Record'.

5. Configure 'Host Record':

Enter 'www' in the 'Host Record' field.

6. Configure 'Type':

In the 'Type' section, select 'CNAME'.

7. Enter 'Points To':

In the 'Points To' field, enter 's.multiscreensite.com'.

8. Add the Record:

Click 'Add Record'.

9. Manage the Domain:

Next to the domain, use the dropdown titled 'Manage' and select 'DNS'.

10. Delete Existing 'A Records':

Find and delete any existing 'A Records'. This can be accomplished by clicking on the ellipses and selecting 'Remove'.

11. Add New 'A Record':

Scroll down to 'A Records' and click 'Add Record'. Then, fill in the details as follows:

  • Host Record: @

  • Points to: 35.172.94.1

Afterwards, click 'Save'.
