JHipster: Redirect root domain to www

Question

I am working on Search Engine Optimization and I would like https://pomzen.com to be redirected to https://www.pomzen.com.

Is it possible to do it in a JHipster project, or is it done outside of the project? For example in DNS records or web config for Tomcat?

Answer 1

Redirects have to be done at the web server level. Basically you need the web server to send an HTTP Redirect (302 or 301). DNS cannot help you here.

Note : There are some hosted DNS platforms that have workarounds (Google Domains, Cloudflare). But they will not be able to handle HTTPS redirects.
