— Go to Project Settings. (Top left of Designer.)
— Click on the Publishing tab.
— Set your Default Domain. We strongly recommend the "www." version.
-Not setting a Default domain could cause duplicate content. This could hurt rankings or even de-index the pages from Google.
-Most DNS managers (I.E. Google Domains) do not support the "non www." version. Also know as the "root domain". Yours may, check with your DNS manager.
-Want to host on the root domain/non www. version with Google Domains? We have a solution! Email Us!
