Want to change my default domain from www.sitename.com to sitename.com

Publishing help Hosting
1

So, in my AWS dns records I have sitename.com pointing to Webflow’s IP addresses and I have www.sitename.com pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com

However, when I set sitename.com as the default domain and publish, I get a redirecting error

Is there any way I can fix this so that my default will be sitename.com

Thanks!

If you want your root domain to be the default, you have to use a flattened CNAME configuration. I do this rarely on Cloudflare, you’ll have to check to see if AWS supports it.

Seems that AWS not not support CNAME flattening and you can’t ALIAS the root domain. Do you know of any other work around? Thanks

I Ad the same problem, you have to change of registrar to solve this issue, in France some support it other don’t, you need to contact support to be shure before making change.

Yep if you really want the root domain as the default, you’ll need to use a different DNS provider. Cloudflare’s is phenomenal, and free. I use it for all of my clients.

I also wanted to know the same, Thank you so much.

To set your root domain (sitename.com) as the default in Webflow, ensure your DNS provider supports CNAME flattening or ALIAS records. If AWS doesn’t support this, consider switching to a provider like Cloudflare. For a detailed understanding, refer to the Webflow Help Center. For comprehensive guidance, consider consulting a research paper from professionals on StudyMoose. This will provide in-depth insights into DNS configurations and best practices.
