### Redirecting `www.domain.com` to `domain.com` with Cloudflare
If you use Cloudflare, you can redirect `www` to `domain.com` without adding both
`www.domain.com` and `domain.com` to GitLab. This happens due to a [Cloudflare feature that creates
a 301 redirect as a "page rule"](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48848#note_87314849) for redirecting `www.domain.com` to `domain.com`. In this case,

If you use Cloudflare, you can redirect `www` to `domain.com`
without adding both `www.domain.com` and `domain.com` to GitLab.

CNAME record to redirect `www.domain.com` to `domain.com`. You
can use the following setup:
1. In Cloudflare, create a DNS `A` record pointing `domain.com` to `35.185.44.232`.
1. In GitLab, add the domain to GitLab Pages.
1. In GitLab, add the domain to GitLab Pages and get the verification code.
1. In Cloudflare, create a DNS `TXT` record to verify your domain.
1. In GitLab, verify your domain.
1. In Cloudflare, create a DNS `CNAME` record pointing `www` to `domain.com`.
1. In Cloudflare, add a Page Rule pointing `www.domain,com` to `domain.com`:
- Navigate to your domain's dashboard and click **Page Rules**
on the top nav.
- Click **Create Page Rule**.
- Enter the domain `www.domain.com` and click **+ Add a Setting**.
- From the dropdown menu, choose **Forwarding URL**, then select the
status code **301 - Permanent Redirect**.
- Enter the destination URL `https://domain.com`.
