It's very common these days to see websites that just use the non-www
domain and therefore redirect all requests
to www
to the domain.
Below is a quick code snippet you can use to take all requests to www
on either http or https and redirect them to
the non-www
domain.
server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name www.example.com;
return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
}
This will listen on both port 80 and 443 for requests to www
and perform a 301 redirect to the domain without www
.
