Setting up an apex domain is a common scenario to configure once your domain name is set up. Creating an apex domain is achieved by configuring an `ALIAS` or `ANAME` record or through `CNAME` flattening. Some domain registrars like GoDaddy and Google don't support these DNS records. If your domain registrar doesn't support the all the DNS records you need, consider using [Azure DNS to configure your domain](custom-domain-azure-dns.md).

For example, the domain `example.com` may contain several DNS records. One record handles traffic for `mail.example.com` (for a mail server), and another `www.contoso.com` (for a website).
