: Domain configuration for website with and without www I have a heroku app with the following settings: Domain name: www.localhost.com DNS Target: safe-springs-1527.herokuapp.com The domain is on

Posted in: #Dns #Domains #Godaddy #Heroku

I have a heroku app with the following settings:

Domain name: localhost.com DNS Target: safe-springs-1527.herokuapp.com

The domain is on GoDaddy. The settings there are:

A (Host)
0 Records (0 Selected)

AAAA (IPv6 Host)
0 Records (0 Selected)

CName (Alias)
Host Points To
email email.secureserver.net
ftp safe-springs-1527.herokuapp.com
www safe-springs-1527.herokuapp.com

When I try to createa a CName record which will be with host "@" and to point to "safe-springs-1527.herokuapp.com" I get the error The specified record already exists. CNAME - @ .

My website is accessible when I use localhost.com but not when I use localhost.com.

I also have in mind what is needed is an A record which points to an IP. Unfortunately heroku gives me a dynamic host which its IP changes.

I posted this issue on reddit and through the discussions I understood that what I am trying to do is not possible and the only solution would be to move to CloudFlare. I am not sure if I have to move my domain or app there but my concern is different. I just can't grasp that. I can't believe that all apps on heroku have this issue.

Is this the case or am I missing something (on heroku's or godaddy's end or...)?

Use redirect.name/ and set the DNS records it specifies there to redirect your www domain to the naked domain, or vice-versa.

Apparently it is better for SEO to have one "canonical" domain, with or without The other should be a redirect.

I found this on Heroku and now my domain works fine without the I am not sure what it does.

In short:

Root domains must be added in addition to any subdomains. The process for adding root domains is the same in the Heroku CLI:
$ heroku domains:add example.com
Adding example.com to example... done
! Configure your app's DNS provider to point to the DNS Target example.herokuapp.com
! For help, see devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains
