as of 9/1/2019 (and earlier due to vendor support), this service is not longer available, I would highly recommend using google domains’ synthetic records to perform these tasks.
Thank you for using my Anycast 301-www, all this IP Does is redirect users to here (if you enter the naked IP) or to the www.$domain of your domain.
Why you ask? Because 3rd party CDN’s and other hosting companies want you to point your domain to a CNAME, you can’t CNAME your root domain (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2181#section-10). So you can now do this instead.
@ IN A 198.251.86.133; 301 service
www IN CNAME website.example.com
Simply point your naked domain to my anycast IP of 198.251.86.133 and I will redirect your user via 301 to www.example.com
@ IN A 198.251.86.133

Anycast uses BGP Routing to broadcast the IP address in multiple datacenters, so you’ll automatically route to the nearest one!
Thanks!
