Hi! I’m trying to connect a domain purchased through Vercel to my Webstudio project, and I need both the apex domain (ally-studio.tokyo) and the www subdomain (www.ally-studio.tokyo) to point to Webstudio.

Since Vercel doesn’t allow a CNAME for the apex domain, I used an ALIAS record, but Webstudio shows an error saying “custom hostname does not CNAME to this zone.”

To work around this, I created a placeholder project on Vercel to enable their redirect feature. My current setup:
• The apex domain (ally-studio.tokyo) redirects to www.ally-studio.tokyo using Vercel’s redirect feature.
• The www subdomain (www.ally-studio.tokyo) is a CNAME pointing to Webstudio.

This setup is working fine; however, the Vercel console shows “invalid configuration” for the www domain because it’s not pointing to their infrastructure.

What’s the recommended way to properly connect both the apex and www domains to Webstudio when the domain is managed through Vercel? Thank you!
