It’s advisable to make the www
subdomain the default here, such that the root/naked domain redirects to www
. This is in line with Heroku recommendations, which states:
For maximum scalability and resiliency applications should avoid using
DNS A-records and instead use a DNS provider that supports CNAME
functionality at the apex, or use sub-domains exclusively
You can achieve this with Google Domains Synthetic Records:
- Go to the Synthetic Records section
- Select Subdomain forward
- Enter
@
for subdomain, andwww.xyz.com
for destination
