> The server at www.randomhacks.net works, but the server at randomhacks.net, on the other hand (and which is not the same as www.randomhacks.net), is for whatever reason failing to respond to the HTTP request. Reasonable guess: it's not a Web server.
Yes, the entire setup is ancient. The www site is a static using CloudFlare, which (IIRC) needed a CNAME at the time, and CNAMEs did not work nicely with "bare" domains. The bare domain pointed to an actual server which did stuff, including serving a redirect on port 443. But that server is gone now.
I could fix this but it's way down the list after several major home projects. Besides, I come from an era where it was assumed that the www host was a dedicated machine. ;-)
