redirecting root domain to www (App platform)

Posted on November 30, 2020

I’m hosting a website on the new App Platform and i want to run the website on www.mydomain.com. I’ve added that in my App settings and it works.

Now I want to redirect all requests on my root domain (mydomain.com) to www.mydomain.com.

Is that possible ?

I’m using redirect.pizza until DO builds this in. Simple and free. Keeps me from having to launch another app or fork out $30/mo to DNSimple for https redirects. Of course, there is also Cloudflare.

Hi @encantairaq7, this is a planned feature but it is not available yet. For now you will need to update your app to perform this redirect if it is needed.

Can you give me steps on how you did redirect.pizza with a DO app? I tried but I keep on getting cloudflare proxy errors.

Thanks! I know this will be super helpful.
