If you already know how they work and want to skip the introduction to DNS,

## DNS Records
|

### DNS Records

### DNS A record

#### DNS A record
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
GitLab.com, this IP is `52.167.214.135`. For projects living in
|
||||
GitLab.com, this IP is `35.185.44.232`. For projects living in
|
||||
other GitLab instances (CE or EE), please contact your sysadmin
|
||||
asking for this information (which IP address is Pages server
|
||||
running on your instance).

**Practical Example:**

### DNS CNAME record
|
||||
NOTE: **Note:**
|
||||
Note that if you use your root domain for your GitLab Pages website **only**, and if
|
||||
your domain registrar supports this feature, you can add a DNS apex `CNAME`
|
||||
record instead of an `A` record. The main advantage of doing so is that when GitLab Pages
|
||||
IP on GitLab.com changes for whatever reason, you don't need to update your `A` record.

||||
#### DNS CNAME record

### Redirecting `www.domain.com` to `domain.com` with Cloudflare
|
||||
|
||||
If you use Cloudflare, you can redirect `www` to `domain.com` without the need of adding both
|
||||
`www.domain.com` and `domain.com` to GitLab. This happens due to a [Cloudflare feature that creates
|
||||
a 301 redirect as a "page rule"](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48848#note_87314849) for redirecting `www.domain.com` to `domain.com`. In this case,
|
||||
you can use the following setup:
|
||||
|
||||
- In Cloudflare, create a DNS `A` record pointing `domain.com` to `35.185.44.232`
|
||||
- In GitLab, add the domain to GitLab Pages
|
||||
- In Cloudflare, create a DNS `TXT` record to verify your domain
|
||||
- In Cloudflare, create a DNS `CNAME` record poiting `www` to `domain.com`
