First of all, some name concepts:

A Name, mapping from alias to IP. For example: sample.com -> 11.11.11.11

CNAME, mappgin from alias to another alias. For example: www -> sample.com

Below is a GoDaddy DNS page. Assume I registered a sample.com dns name.

In the first row, it has type A ‘@‘ name. Put your hosting IP on this row.

Then there is Type CNAME ‘www‘ name. I put value ‘@‘. This means there is a alias www.sample.com which will forward to A name ‘@‘, then to the hosting IP.
