site is not working without www

Question

Hi,

Our website domain provider is from wix but we have hosted site as static website using Azure CDN and blob storage.

Site works properly when we use with www, but without www it does not get opened. Wix does not allow @ pointing to cdn url only it allows with www.
We have also applied rules engine for redirecting without www url to point at working url but still doesn't work.

Looking for some suggestions.

Thanks

Hello Cixcent Team,

Thank you for posting your query here!

Can you please check with the following rules:

Now user is forwarded from example.com to https://www.example.com, but if somebody will type https://example.com he will still see an error. The solution to this could be buy SSL cert, because Azure CDN doesn't allow CDN Managed SSL for apex domain. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-custom-ssl?tabs=option-1-default-enable-https-with-a-cdn-managed-certificate#prerequisites

Hello,

Thanks for your post. We have moved from Azure CDN to Azure Static Web App and followed as mentioned below

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/custom-domain-external?source=recommendations

Problem here in last step where need to update alias (cname) record in domain provider(wix) but wix does not allow to update as its not allowing @ or blank with value of static web app url.

Thanks
