The Value is not a valid DNS record. You can't point a DNS record to a URL. It has to be to a DNS Name or IP Address
Are you really sure you want Http and https in your record name?
Seems there no webserver/host called www.Sam ventures.net at 172.67.70.96
If you have a website at www.example.com/sam which is a feeling you’re trying to achieve that’s not going to work either.
What your trying to achieve is I’m afraid not how web hosting works.
You have placed the IP addresses of the homesmart.com server in your values.
You can’t make up a webname and send to another webserver unless that webserver has host names configured

I set the records values to IP addresses, but I'm still getting this site cannot be reached, is there anything else I need to do?
