   If you add an apex domain (e.g. example.com) to the project, Vercel will prompt you to add the wwwsubdomain prefix, the apex domain, and some basic redirection options.

   For more information on which redirect option to choose, see Redirecting www domains.

3. Configure your DNS records

   Configure the DNS records of your domain with your registrar so it can be used with your Project. The dashboard will automatically display different methods for configuring it:

   

   Instructions on configuring an apex domain from the Project Domains page.

   • If the domain is in use by another Vercel account, you will need to verify access to the domain, with a TXT record
   • If you're using an Apex domain (e.g. example.com), you will need to configure it with an A record
   • If you're using a Subdomain (e.g. docs.example.com), you will need to configure it with a CNAME record

   Both apex domains and subdomains can also be configured using the Nameservers method. Wildcard domains must use the nameservers method for verification. For more information see Add a custom domain.
