## Summary

Once your own domain is connected, one switch sends www to the root domain and another sends the free address to your domain, keeping the exact page people asked for.

## Key facts

- www handled for you: Both versions of the domain are connected, and the www redirect is on by default, so www and the root domain never compete as two sites in search.
- The free address follows along: The subdomain redirect sends everyone who opens the free address to the same page on your domain, including anything after the question mark.
- One canonical home: Canonical links on every page point to your main domain, so search engines credit one address with all the links and visits.

Every visitor lands on your main address

## How it works

1. **Connect your domain**: With Premium, add your domain in Settings. The redirect switches appear once the domain shows Connected.
2. **Set the www redirect**: In the row of your domain, keep Redirect www on to send www visitors to the root domain, or turn it off to let both versions open.
3. **Redirect the free address**: In the Domain card, leave Redirect the subdomain to the main domain on, so the free address forwards visitors to your domain.

## Frequently asked questions

### Should my website use www or not?

Either works, but pick one. Google treats www and the root domain as two different addresses, so the www redirect sends every visitor to the root and keeps your ranking signals in one place.

### What happens to my free address after I connect a domain?

It keeps working and, with the subdomain redirect on, sends visitors to the same page on your domain. Turn the switch off if you want the free address to show the site on its own.

### Which redirects happen automatically?

Addresses ending in .html or index.html always go to their clean version with a permanent redirect. The www and free address redirects start once a domain is connected, and both stay on unless you turn them off.
