Hi, I have a simple static website built with Astro. I’ve configured a domain with A record and www with CNAME. I want to redirect from www to non www domain (or vice versa), how can I achive this with Digital Ocean Static APP?
This textbox defaults to using Markdown to format your answer.
You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
I usually handle this by keeping one as the primary domain (e.g. www.example.com) and then adding the other (example.com) as an alias in App → Settings → Domains & Certificates.
From there you can enable the “redirect to primary domain” toggle — App Platform sends a 301 redirect automatically.
If you don’t see that toggle, drop a _redirects file into your Astro project before you deploy. For example:
/* https://www.example.com/:splat 301!
That forces all traffic to the www version.
No need for custom code or a separate server — just use either the alias redirect or the _redirects file.
