I'm also dealing with the cname problem. I considered their solution however if the server issuing the redirects from the apex to www happens to go down, people typing the apex domain will not be redirected. The only real solution seems to be to have all customers just use our DNS servers
- toast0 9y agoIf you always redirect to www, and always publish links with www, most of your inbound traffic will go to www; so it's not critical if occasionally the apex doesn't work. Some people will not load your page properly, but not too many. If your site is already heavily linked to at the apex version (or you prefer the no-www hostname for a shorter url or esthetics), then it's likely to take forever for a switch -- in this case, your realistic option is to set the nameserver records for the whole domain to whomever you want to do DNS load balancing for the apex.
