What do you mean explains it? CNAMEs can’t point to IPs. This article doesn’t say otherwise. Also this article says you should use “www”.

- tyingq 8y agoThe post you replied to also said a CNAME can't point to an IP: "as far as a CNAME needing to point to another domain instead of an IP" So, it's unclear to me who you're arguing with. I thought a post explaining why using a CNAME on an "apex domain" is potentially problematic might be helpful. Guess not.
- gpvos 8y agoTo me, that sentence reads as that it's possible for a CNAME to point to an IP, but that someone has a need to point it to a domain. Which makes the sentence incorrect, since it assumes something impossible, and explains hacknat's urge to correct it.
