   2. Keep one set of Framer-provided A (root) and CNAME (www/subdomain) values
   3. Delete parking records, extra A records and every AAAA record, including ones your registrar added
   4. Disable URL or domain redirects at the registrar

   4. Check the host value (@ vs domain name) matches your registrar

3. 3. Wait and refresh
