Why:

Closes: #36158

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

I set up GitHub pages for the first time and ran into issues because my DNS provider (Squarespace) automatically adds an A record and apex domain for newly created domains. After doing some research it appears this is common for many DNS providers (i.e. Wix, GoDaddy, etc.) so I figured it was worth notating to help other readers.

Feel free to move it to a different part of the page, or even incorporate it into an existing paragraph instead of my note alert--whatever you think is best!
