I’m running a Rails with Unicorn on Ubuntu, and I’m trying to figure out how to redirect a naked domain to the ‘www’ version.
I was hoping to do this through straight DNS, but I’ve never known a way to do this…and I’m thinking it’s impossible.
What’s the best way to achieve this?

What webserver are you using? It isn’t possible to do this using DNS only.
@Kiromba, <br> <br>If someone typed “mydomain.com” into their browser, wouldn’t the browser simply land on mydomain.com (as opposed to redirecting it to www.mydomain.com)?
