Hey guys, one quick question. I've got a problem setting the cname for my domain http://snaremedia.com . I use godaddy and set the www cname to point at my cloudfront url, but currently my domain only work through entering www. and not without the www. How can I make sure my domain works whether or not the user enters www.
CNAME www d2vga2hys6h3wj.cloudfront.net
Thanks a lot 🙂
Sounds to me like this is a web server issue - you're probably using name-based virtual hosts, but only have a server name directive for the main domain.
Assuming you're using Apache, you probably just have a "ServerName 1.com" directive. You'll also need to add "ServerAlias 2.com" and "ServerAlias 3.com" directives.
I've set up a domain with godaddy using heroku so see if this helps.
First you set up 3 A records with the hostname @ to point to the heroku ips: 75.101.163.44, 75.101.145.87, and 174.129.212.2 (check their docs to make sure they are the same when you do this).
Then you add just one CNAME record if you want www and have it point to @.
If you use the total DNS control feature your screen will end up looking something like this:
You also need to use the heroku addon for DNS and configure it:
heroku addons:add custom_domains:basic
heroku domains:add yourdomainname.com
heroku domains:add www.yourdomainname.com
Doing the above should get you set up with their free basic DNS service.
