| While `www` is merely a subdomain and not technically different than `xyz.example.com`, old habits die hard, and some users may still type in `www` to get to your site. Therefore, it's good practice to redirect it to your root so they can reach your site. | ||

| Although `www` is just a subdomain like `xyz.example.com`, many users still reference it out of habit. To ensure they reach your site, it’s best practice to redirect `www` to your root domain. To do this, make sure you’ve create the A record with `192.0.2.1` as described above, then follow [Cloudflare’s guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/url-forwarding/examples/redirect-www-to-root/) to set up a _Rule_ in the Cloudflare dashboard. |

Idk if its the best practice to redirect www to root or root to www, either way both need to work.
