Domains and DNS
www is the easy CNAME to slug.bizzit.io. Bare apex flattening is a DNS-host feature we will not document as a Bizzit SKU we have not named.
Forums say "flatten the apex." That is a nameserver vendor behavior, not a checkbox we fake. If our connect flow only documents www, believe that flow. Empty cells stay empty. Someone whose registrar blocked a CNAME on @ and wants us to "just flatten it." We host the site. Your DNS host decides whether @ can alias. Those are two companies.
On Bizzit Pro, CNAME a web hostname such as www to slug.bizzit.io. Apex CNAME flattening, ALIAS, or ANAME are DNS-host features. We will not document flattening as a Bizzit SKU if we have not shipped it. Pro is $12 a month. Do not touch MX for the website job.
Who this is for
Someone whose registrar blocked a CNAME on @ and wants us to "just flatten it." If that is not you, a different Bizzit guide will fit better, do not force this URL.
The actual answer
Forums say "flatten the apex." That is a nameserver vendor behavior, not a checkbox we fake. If our connect flow only documents www, believe that flow. Empty cells stay empty. We host the site. Your DNS host decides whether @ can alias. Those are two companies. The short version is still the one in the box at the top of this page. The rest of the article exists so you do not have to guess the limits.
Do this in order
Follow the live connect-domain copy. Prefer www. Redirect apex to www at your DNS host if they offer it. Wait TTL.
- Upgrade to Pro
- CNAME www to slug.bizzit.io
- See if your DNS host supports apex alias
- Do not invent flattening in our dashboard if it is not there
- Leave MX records for mail
What not to do
Do not delete MX to "make apex work." Do not paste a random A record to an IP we have not published. Do not print @ before it 200s. That is the usual way a useful page turns into a doorway, a fake comparison, or a brief Cipher cannot honor.
How this shows up on Bizzit
Free stays on you.bizzit.io. Custom host is Pro. HTTPS stays on when DNS is right.
The live connect screen wins
If we later ship apex as a named flow, that UI wins. Until then, www is the honest path. Empty cell for flattening-as-SKU.
Limits
Do not delete MX to "make apex work." Do not paste a random A record to an IP we have not published. Do not print @ before it 200s.
Limits and caveats
Do not delete MX to "make apex work." Do not paste a random A record to an IP we have not published. Do not print @ before it 200s.
If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.
What to do after you read this
If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Domains and DNS. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.

Questions people actually ask
Why not CNAME on @?
Many DNS hosts forbid CNAME at the zone apex. Flattening is their product, not a silent Bizzit toggle on this page.
Can I A-record the apex?
Only to an address we actually publish in the connect flow. This article will not invent an IP.
Cloudflare flattening?
Follow Cloudflare's docs if that is your DNS host. We are not them.
www vs apex SEO?
Pick one canonical host. Redirect the other. Put that URL on GBP.
