 You can set up either or both of apex and `www` subdomain configurations for your site. For more information on apex domains, see "[Using an apex domain for your {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site](#using-an-apex-domain-for-your-github-pages-site)."
 
-We recommend always using a `www` subdomain, even if you also use an apex domain. When you create a new site with an apex domain, we automatically attempt to secure the `www` subdomain for use when serving your site's content. If you configure a `www` subdomain, we automatically attempt to secure the associated apex domain.

+We recommend always using a `www` subdomain, even if you also use an apex domain. When you create a new site with an apex domain, we automatically attempt to secure the `www` subdomain for use when serving your site's content, but you need to make the DNS changes to use the `www` subdomain.

 After you configure a custom domain for a user or organization site, the custom domain will replace the `<user>.github.io` or `<organization>.github.io` portion of the URL for any project sites owned by the account that do not have a custom domain configured. For example, if the custom domain for your user site is `www.octocat.com`, and you have a project site with no custom domain configured that is published from a repository called `octo-project`, the {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site for that repository will be available at `www.octocat.com/octo-project`.

 When using an apex domain, we recommend configuring your {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site to host content at both the apex domain and that domain's `www` subdomain variant.
 
-To set up a `www` subdomain alongside the apex domain, you must first configure an apex domain, which will create an `ALIAS`, `ANAME`, or `A` record with your DNS provider. For more information, see "[Configuring an apex domain](#configuring-an-apex-domain)."
