Summary

The dashboard now shows an info callout above the DNS records table explaining that some providers (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy) auto-append the apex domain to the Name field, which can produce duplicated suffixes if users paste the fully-qualified value verbatim. This PR adds matching guidance to the custom domain docs so users hit the same explanation outside the dashboard.

Changes

  • Added a Note under Configure your DNS in customize/custom-domain.mdx describing apex-domain auto-appending behavior, with an example and a list of providers that accept the FQDN as shown.
  • Mirrored the note in the Spanish translation at es/customize/custom-domain.mdx.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change that adds guidance to prevent common DNS record misconfiguration; no runtime or product logic is affected.

Overview
Adds a new <Note> callout under Configure your DNS in customize/custom-domain.mdx explaining that some DNS providers (e.g., Namecheap/GoDaddy) auto-append the apex domain to the Name field, and provides an example of how to avoid duplicated suffixes.

Mirrors the same guidance in the Spanish translation es/customize/custom-domain.mdx.
