I have an orange-clouded flattened CNAME subdomain working with SSL. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for the root domain. Is something not working?

If I make it orange-clouded, is it cause problems receiving email?

No, that will be fine pointing to zoho. You can leave the CNAME set to :orange:.

No, that’ll work since it’s pointing to zoho.
