WWWizer is a service that allows you to make a redirection from a naked domain to your domain with www by A record points to IP number: 174.129.25.170.
If you notice a WWWizer error message after redirecting your domain to the given IP number, then most likely, the redirection has been done incorrectly.
What you need to remember about
Common errors:
- setting an A record pointing on 174.129.25.170 for the subdomain (domain with www), e.g., www.mydomain.com, instead of only for a naked domain, e.g., mydomain.com.
Remember that with A record, you redirect only the naked domain (the domain without www), for example, mydomain.com. For subdomains, like www.mydomain.com, you don’t set an A record, but only CNAME pointing to cname.landingi.com.
Few things that you need to know about redirection by using A record:
- Redirection via DNS records is limited to the same domain zone – you cannot redirect your naked domain to a different domain, like mydomain.com on www.myawseomesite.com.
- This is an HTTP redirection. If you write in the browser your naked domain address with the HTTPS in front of it, like https://mydomain.com, it won’t work.
