Naked Domain Redirect CloudFlare

Description:

I needed a way for people to get to my site without having to type www in the address bar. I first used a service called [wwwizer](http://wwwizer.com/naked-domain-redirect) but then found that you can do this WITHIN CloudFlare by setting up Page Rules.

NOTE: You only get 3 with a free domain, but you only need 1 for this.

To Resolve:

1. Sign into CloudFlare and then go to Page Rules. Create one that:

   example.com/*  
   # forwarding URL - 301 Permanent Redirect  
   http://www.example.com/$1
   

   • From the link: The solution is to use variables. Each wildcard corresponds to a variable when can be referenced in the forwarding address. The variables are represented by a $ followed by a number. To refer to the first wildcard you would use $1, to refer to the second wildcard you would use $2, and so on.

   • In this case, if someone went to: example.com/some-particular-page.html
   • They would be redirected to: http://www.example.com/some-particular-page.html
