Description
Problem:
Visiting "https://grifflab.com" fails to resolve via DNS, while "https://www.grifflab.com" works as expected. This means users attempting to access the site without the "www" prefix are unable to reach the website.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Go to https://grifflab.com in any browser.
- Observe that the site does not load due to a DNS resolution error.
- Go to https://www.grifflab.com and see that the site loads correctly.
Recommended Fix: Generated by GPT4.1
- (Needs to be performed by the domain owner (JDG))
- Update the DNS configuration for the domain so that "grifflab.com" (the root domain) is properly set up to resolve and redirect to "www.grifflab.com".
- This typically involves adding an A record for "grifflab.com" pointing to your hosting server's IP address, or setting up an ALIAS/ANAME if supported by your DNS provider. Additionally, configure an HTTP redirect from "grifflab.com" to "www.grifflab.com" to ensure users always reach the correct site regardless of prefix.
- Example DNS entries:
- A record: grifflab.com -> [server IP]
- CNAME/ALIAS (if supported): grifflab.com -> www.grifflab.com
