Synthetic record appears to be a term coined by Google for domain forwarding: When you set up web forwarding, Google Domains creates a web forwarding synthetic record... Since www is technically a subdomain of your root domain (see the "Domain Forwarding Values" section), you'll need to use the steps under "Forward your subdomain" in the above link.

| Dec 21, 2021 at 5:05 | comment | added | davidgo | This post is entirely unclear and appears to conflate 2 things. [ With respect to the web ] a domain name resolves to an IP address. The place it points to on the filesystem is defined by the web server. Also, as others have mentioned, a synthetic record is not a standard DNS term - Did you mean a CNAME, ALIAS or something else? | |
