4. Go to the Advanced DNS tab

5. Click on Add New Record button in the Host Records section:

Before proceeding, it's important to verify whether there are any conflicting records set for the same Host such as CNAME, URL Redirect (Unmasked/Masked/Permanent), ALIAS or A records. These records can create conflicts with each other and it's recommended to remove them. Note that if a CNAME record exists for a Host, it will override any other records created for that Host.

Once done, wait for 30 minutes for the host's records to be accepted.

DONE!
