Issue adding my custom domain from IONOS

Hi there, When I try to setup the CNAME record on my host I get the following error shown in the screenshot: A NAME record can only be set for a subdomain. To alias your main domain please use Redirect

Solution:
Most nameservers, including the one you're using, don't support CNAMEs on the root, which is what you want to do To work around this you can use cloudflare nameservers instead...
