In order to set up the desired redirect, www.example.com to example.com or vice versa, you must have an A record for each name.
Open whatever you use to manage your DNS. For our example, we’ll use the teknonel.com dns records
If a domain (also known as a zone) record does not already exist, create one now. The hostname should be your domain, e.g. example.com, and the IP address should be set to the public IP address of your Apache server. This will automatically create an A record that points your domain to the IP address that you specified. If you are using another system to manage your domain, you may need to add this manually.
Next, add another A record with “www” as the hostname (or “www.example.com” if the partial subdomain doesn’t work), and specify the same IP address.
When you have created both records, it should look something like this:
We are using cloudflare. That's why our IP address is auto proxied with cloudflare's system.
