### **2) Set Up Subdomain (CNAME Record)**

**Example:**

* **Subdomain:** `www.example.com` or `eventx.example.com`
* **Record Type:** `CNAME`
* **Name:** `www` or `eventx`
* **Value:** `dns1.wavecast.io`

**Steps:**

1. Under **Records**, click **"Add"**.
2. Choose **Type**: `CNAME`.
3. **Name**: Type `www` or `eventx` (whatever subdomain you want to use).
4. **Value**: Enter `dns1.wavecast.io`.
5. TTL: Leave as default (`1 hour`).
6. Click **Save**.

### **3) Set Up Apex Domain (A Record)**

This step is only required when setting up the **apex domain**, such as `example.com` or `www.example.com`.\
If you're using a subdomain like `event.example.com`, this step is **not required**.

**Example:**

* **Domain:** `example.com`
* **Record Type:** `A`
* **Name**: `@`
* **Value**: `209.38.176.207`

**Steps:**

1. In the DNS records list, look for an existing **A record** with the **Name** `@`.
   * If it exists, click **Edit**.
   * If it doesn’t, click **"Add"**.
2. Choose **Type**: `A`.
3. **Name**: `@`
4. **Value**: `209.38.176.207`
5. TTL: Leave as default (`1 hour`).
6. Click **Save**.
