4. Add CNAME Record:

5. Delete Existing A Records:

Return to your DNS list and delete any existing A records by clicking on the gear icon next to the record and selecting 'Delete Record'.

6. Add A Record (First Instance):

Click 'Add Record', select 'A' as the Type, and input the following information:
