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.

#### TL;DR
|

|

If the domain has multiple uses (e.g., you host email on it as well):
|
||||
For root domains (`domain.com`), set a DNS `A` record and verify your
|
||||
domain's ownership with a TXT record:

| From | DNS Record | To |

If the domain is dedicated to GitLab Pages use and no other services run on it:

For subdomains (`subdomain.domain.com`), set a DNS `CNAME` record and

verify your domain's ownership with a TXT record:
