STEP 8:- after adding CNAME records, you have to add
four A records (which is given on the
above menus). The main use of adding this A records is that you can link your
naked domain (example.com) to your actual domain (www.example.com). If you skip this step, visitors who
leave off the "www" will see an error page on their browsers. Add four A record as given below:-
Host name :
leaves it blank for every A record
Destination IPv4 Address : 216.239.32.21, 216.239.34.21, 216.239.36.21,
216.239.38.21 use each and different IP address for each A records.

28800 as TTL in this box for all four A records.
