Why:

Beginners rotely following the instructions may miss that their DNS provider does not accept the full URL (e.g., www.example.com) in the 'Host' field of the CNAME record. For example, namecheap only accepts the third-level domain (e.g., www). As a beginner, this can be an annoying detail to miss given the expectation of DNS propagation delay.

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

Added a short aside that a diligent beginner might catch on reading through tutorial.
