> [!WARNING]
> Do not put the root into the **Hostname**. For example, by putting `example.org` in this box, you will create a record for `www.example.org.example.org`.


> [!NOTE]
> A record with `@` as hostname for some providers is the empty subdomain. In our case, the **Hostname** box should be empty.
