CNAME Flattening
Hello.
I'm looking for some clarification on something. I will outline my issue below. Originally I was going to piggy back onto a "SSL Handshake failed" 525 error thread:
"I'm piggy-backing onto this because I want to avoid creating a new post if possible. I was seeing this issue as well for my root domain. I see that my root had an A record with "ABCD.com" and a CNAME record with www and the content field being "parking.namecheap.com".
I deleted the A record and now I get the following up top in the "Recommended steps to complete setup..."
my question: can I simply convert the CNAME record to an A record or does that CNAME need to stay there as 'parking.namecheap.com'"
... So I answered my own question and I was able to convert the "www" CNAME record to an A record and now my root will resolve.
Now my question is this. When I try to create a CNAME record with "ABCD.com" I get the CNAME flattening info bubble, but yes, the notice about needing a CNAME record for my root domain does go away.
Am I doing something incorrectly? How or why was the previous situation flipped but I didn't get any notice of CNAME flattening?
Thanks in advance for any insight and clarification on this scenario.

Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for your root domain so that ABCD.com will resolve.my question: can I simply convert the CNAME record to an A record or does that CNAME need to stay there as 'parking.namecheap.com'"
