ANAME / ALIAS records
To serve apex domain directly some domain providers allow ALIAS or ANAME records to resolve host names to IPs. It is sometimes called CNAME flattening. The host name is resolved to an IP.
Due to potential upcoming changes, we recommend using the WWW forwarding service instead of ANAME/ALIAS records with our service at this time.

If your provider does not support CNAME flattening, but you would like to take advantage of it, we recommend switching to that does or consider using our www forwarding service.
