Is it possible to have a custom domain automatically open with www (regardless if accessed from [https://websitename.com](https://websitename.com) or [websitename.com](http://websitename.com) or [www.websitename.com](http://www.websitename.com))? For the apps I have that use subdomains as custom urls, this isn’t an issue as cloudflare is enabled for the parent domain and both it and all subdomains are reconfigured through www. The issue I’m having is with a parent domain that is currently pointed to Glide where enabling Cloudflare through my hosting provider caused the site to stop working. [This post](https://community.glideapps.com/t/www-domain-settings/6400) explained the possibility of redirects which makes sense and solves the issue of [www.websitename.com](http://www.websitename.com) not working to begin with, but still redirects to the [https://websitename.com](https://websitename.com) instead of [www.websitename.com](http://www.websitename.com). Any help is really appreciated!! ---

I’m working through a similar issue… I have a Glide Page with a custom domain ([domain.com](http://domain.com)). I successfully added www as a CNAME so that [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) points to [domain.com](http://domain.com). However, the client also needs [app.domain.com](http://app.domain.com) to point to [domain.com](http://domain.com). Glide doesn’t provide this service. The domain provider also doesn’t provide this service. Kind of stuck. ---

Yes, I never noticed, but one of my users pointed out the [domainname.org](http://domainname.org) works but [www.domainname.org](http://www.domainname.org) does not. ---

Ya, you have to add a CNAME record for [www.domainname.org](http://www.domainname.org) to point to [domainname.org](http://domainname.org) ---

Clumsy workaround: could you simply duplicate the app? ---

@Simon_Hill How is maintaining two identical separate apps less clumsy than properly configuring additional subdomains with the domain registrar? That’s how it works with any website that allows a user to navigate to a root domain or a www subdomain. ---

No I meant I had a clumsy suggestion…. The duplicate suggestion. ---
