2. Add an A Record: On the DNS Settings page, click on Add DNS Record.
3. Configuring the A record: Choose 'A' as the Record Type to point your domain to an IPv4 address. Input '@' as the Hostname and enter '216.120.131.66' as the Record Value. Click OK to save. Refer to Add an A Reco, ird for detailed guidance.
4. Set up a CNAME Record: Return to the DNS Settings page and click on Add DNS Record.
