How To Redirect Stack Domains (www to non-www)

Redirecting your domain from www to non-www (or vice versa) can be easily managed with Stack when using Cloudflare or Google Domains. Unfortunately, domain registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap do not support redirects with paths, so you’ll need to transfer your domain to Cloudflare or Google Domains to utilize this feature.

Transferring Your Domain

To get started, you’ll need to transfer your domain to a compatible registrar:

• Transfer to Cloudflare: Follow the Cloudflare Transfer Guide.
• Transfer to Google Domains: Use the Google Domains Transfer Instructions.

Setting Up Redirects

Redirect www to non-www

1. Add CNAME Record:

   • Point www to flash.funnels.msgsndr.com.
   • Set the Proxy Status to Proxied.

2. Add A Record:

   • Point the non-www domain to 34.68.234.4.
   • Set the Proxy Status to DNS Only.

3. Create a Page Rule:

   • URL: www.yourdomain.com/*
   • Setting: Forwarding URL → 301 - Permanent Redirect
   • Destination URL: https://yourdomain.com/$1

4. Connect Domain in Stack:

   • Go to Stack and connect your non-www domain to the desired funnel.

Redirect non-www to www

Troubleshooting
