How to redirect your Root domain to www. subdomain using Typedream

example.comwww.example.com

This will only work to redirect your root domain to your www subdomain

example.comwww.example.com

To help you redirect your root domain to your www subdomain, we have released an experimental feature. You have 2 options:


Option 1: Add a CNAME to your root domain (recommended)

Add the following in your domain provider:

Type

CNAME

Name

@

Value

redirect.typedream.page.

Type: CNAME

Name: @ or empty (make sure this points to your root domain)

Value: redirect.typedream.page.

Note: This is only possible if your DNS provider allows CNAME Flattening. If your DNS provider does not allow CNAME Flattening, you may either use a service like Cloudflare, or try Option 2.

Note: Make sure you don't have other CNAME records with name "@". If you do, remove them first before adding this CNAME.


Option 2: Add an A record to your root domain

This option is not as preferable as Option 1 because the IP address can change. We will let you know if there's a need for us to change the IP address and walk you through it.

Add the following in your domain provider:

Type

A

Name

@

Value

35.247.11.168

Type: A

Name: @ or empty (make sure this points to your root domain)

Value: 35.247.11.168

Note: Make sure you don't have other A or AAAA records. If you do, remove them first before adding this A record.
