 In case you want to point a root domain (`example.com`) to your
 GitLab Pages site, deployed to `namespace.gitlab.io`, you need to
 log into your domain's admin control panel and add a DNS `A` record
 pointing your domain to Pages' server IP address. For projects on

+NOTE: **Note:**

+If you use Cloudflare, you can redirect `www` to `domain.com` without the need of adding both
