Cole with Brace here (http://brace.io http://brace.io). We recommend redirecting the apex domain to a "www" subdomain. Note that even using apex CNAME records (Alias records) are still a new idea, and depending on the implementation may reduce reliability or performance.

- treitnauer 12y agoI also wrote an article about ALIAS-type DNS records for CNAME functionality on naked domains and alternatives last week: https://iwantmyname.com/blog/2014/05/alias-type-dns-records-for-cname-functionality-on-naked-domains.html https://iwantmyname.com/blog/2014/05/alias-type-dns-records-... Hope it's helpful!
