GoDaddy redirection does not work on https version

Hey,

I hope all is going well. I am kind of facing an issue right now.

So I redirected my website to the www version on GoDaddy, but my site doesn't go there unless I type www explicitly. For example:

Here's a non-www link to the post https://pensdistrict.com/

Here's the www version:

https://www.pensdistrict.com/

The non-www does not redirect and gives an error message in the browser (connection not secure). However, the www version works fine.

I have set up a 301 redirect on GoDaddy to the www version but it doesn't seem to work if I put https behind the address.

Is there a way I can redirect https://pensdistrict.com/ to https://www.pensdistrict.com/?

I think we discussed this over email after you posted your question here, but for anyone else with the same problem, GoDaddy's redirection system doesn't support HTTPS URLs. There is a free service that does support them, called Naked SSL.

Yes. Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm.

I found a solution: https://www.webapptiv.com/django/redirect-non-www-to-www/. Just add your domain to Cloudflare and set redirect rules.

Cool!
