Hassle-free SSL clothes for your naked domains.

Most of the existing PaaS out there let you use your custom domain with SSL, but lots of DNS and domain providers still do not allow CNAME or ALIAS records on the naked domain, which makes it hard –or impossible– to install an SSL certificate and redirect all the traffic on your naked domain without having a custom IP. NakedSSL came to fix that.

Hi! It's always nice to see solutions for annoying issues like the one you're addressing. Can you tell me what your solution solves more than a 301 redirect from a naked domain to a www prefixed domain (e.g. a very basic solution like http://wwwizer.com/naked-domain-...)? I'm currently using their "hack" to solve the naked domain redirect, and it works fine for my heroku SSL configuration.

@ckramer Hi Kramer! Good point :) That resolves just the naked domain, but not the naked domain under SSL – http://yourdomain.com will work, but not https://yourdomain.com. NakedSSL addresses exactly that.

@jespejo you are absolutely correct. I didn't even notice that this was still an issue. When explicitly attempting to navigate to the top level domain with https enforced, the redirect does not trigger. So even though this works for redirecting http://yourdomain.com to https://www.yourdomain.com (as long as you enforce SSL on a service such as heroku), it's not a complete solution. I hope you guys can find a way to provide your solution as a heroku add-on to prevent having to depend on 3 parties take care of hosting a simple website (cloud hosting, DNS registration and domain management and your service for top level domain redirect). I have been utterly frustrated with my DNS/domain management party for not being able to provided naked redirect, as it severely handicaps you when you use a service like heroku to host your website accessible through its naked domain.

@ckramer Thank you for your suggestion! We'll definitively study the possibility of adding it to Heroku as add-on. Stay tuned :).

Hello, can I use this if I'm using a web builder or will having two a records pointing to different IPs conflict?

@daniel_roger_casanova Hi Daniel! You can use it for sure :) You just need to ensure that your naked domain (yourdomain.com) is pointing to the IP that NakedSSL gives you, while the "www" version (www.yourdomain.com) is pointing to the web builder.

I think this may have come a bit late for me as I resolved the issue with a crappy .htaccess hack, but I run my stuff on Heroku and it was very difficult to get all traffic to redirect to the SSL version of my site. I'll check this out for sure.

@mickc79 We leverage AWS SES for transactional emails, so sometimes they might take a couple of minutes to send them :) Or maybe it went to SPAM, could you please check it? In any case, if you haven't got anything in the next 5-10 mins just write us to hello@nakedssl.com and we can confirm your account from our dashboard.

@nakedssl @jespejo I think it may be because I have a .rocks TLD

This really solved my issue. I'm using Netlify to host my static website and I couldn't find an easier way to solve the naked domain issue than using this product. Nice tool.

Hey @alexandergerund & @jespejo, Can you tell us more about why you wanted to build this?

@alexandergerund @jacqvon Hi Jacqueline! We built it to solve a simple problem: while it's a good practice to redirect your naked domain to the "www" version of it (more info here: https://www.yes-www.org/why-use-...), it's not easy to do it under SSL when using PaaS like Google App Engine, Heroku or Now.sh, as lots of DNS management services are still a bit limited on that. We stumbled upon this issue a few times already and although is pretty easy to solve, it's tedious and requires some time, so we decided to create a service to automate it for ourselves – and that finally turned into this product.
