GoDaddy setup and redirect www to site root

Question

I have a go daddy site with the following records

CNAME | www | example.co.uk.

A | @ | 142.155.154.42

A | example.co.uk | 12.197.141.173

A | example.co.uk | 3.37.151.147

Along with the Forwarding section set up like follows:

Domain

• Empty

Subdomain

• example.co.uk - containing Permanent 301 https://www.example.co.uk

When I visit https://www.example.co.uk I get the following screen:

When I visit https://example.co.uk I get the redirect I want just fine.

I want to be able to visit https://www.example.co.uk and be redirected to the root which sits at https://example.co.uk. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Answer 1

It looks like you are redirecting www.example.co.uk to itself, so it gets into a redirect loop.

This is exactly consistent with what you wrote: Subdomain

      example.co.uk - containing Permanent 301 https://***www.***example.co.uk

Surely the www. should not be there? That said, you have not provided enough information to know why/how example.co.uk is redirecting - which it would appear but shouldn't be in this scenario.

Maybe what you are trying to do is redirect https://example.com to https://www.example.com in which case you should set up the redirect on the Domain, not the Subdomain.
