I am unable to find the proper setup of DNSDNS records with URL RedirectURL Redirect service for a basic web server where:

  • Any URL with www.Example.com should go to server with IPv4 numberIPv4 address 1192.20.32.4
  • Any URL for example.com or Example.com should be replaced with a URL of www.Example.com.
  • I do not really understand forwarding versus redirecting. What I want is to transform any "example.com" request to a "www.Example.com" request (always using the 'www', and not respecting the naked 'example.com').
  • No other services rendered on this server except the web server (and ping etc.). So no concern about email servers, FTP servers, etc.
  • Sites will have TLS securitybe accessed over HTTPS, hence with certificates engaged.

Should it be:

  • Type: A Record
  • Host: @

  • Host: www
  • Value: example.com
