CLOUDFLARE

How to redirect your www. to your main host using Cloudflare

There are 2 redirection options that we will cover in this tutorial. Please go to the one that is relevant to you:

Redirect example.comwww.example.com Do this if you connected www.example.com to Typedream

Jump to tutorial →

Redirect www.example.comexample.com Do this if you connected example.com to Typedream

Jump to tutorial →


Redirect example.comwww.example.com

If you have connected www.example.com to Typedream by adding a CNAME like the following:

Type

CNAME

Name

www

Value

render-36alh.ondigitalocean.app

(this may be different for you)

Then you might need to redirect your root domain example.com to your connected www subdomain www.example.com so that both domains would serve your Typedream site.

What you need to do is add the following

1. Add Forwarding in Rules

Go to the Rules tab, then add a forwarding rule

2. Add a DNS Record to proxy requests to Cloudflare

Go to the DNS Tab, and add a DNS Record:

Done! You should now check if going to https://example.com redirects you to https://www.example.com.


Redirect www.example.comexample.com

If you have connected www.example.com to Typedream by adding an A record like the following:

Type

A

Name

@

Value

76.76.21.21

(this may be different for you)

Then you might need to redirect your www subdomain www.example.com to your connected root domain example.com so that both domains would serve your Typedream site.

What you need to do is add the following

1. Add Forwarding in Rules

Go to the Rules tab, then add a forwarding rule

2. Add a DNS Record to proxy requests to Cloudflare
