Advanced Redirect Management

Deep Roots Marketing shared this idea

Open Discussion

Hey all! I am grateful there's a redirect component within SPanel. It's a nice thing to have! I'd love to see it mature a bit, and bring in some more advanced functionality.

My particular use case is that I want to be able to display naked, root domains: https://example.com, instead of https://www.example.com.

I want to get rid of that www. Now, I am primarily hosting WordPress sites in SPanel. I can set the database to the root URL, which does allow the site to then resolve at that root domain. However, it can still also resolve at the www version.

I can currently use Cloudflare to solve this (see here). However, that's assuming the ideal scenario: that I have the domain being managed in Cloudflare. That won't always be true with every client, and for that reason, it'd be nice if there were controls within SPanel to help solve this within the hosting environment itself.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Specifically, the feature that I think is currently missing in the existing redirect function in SPanel is the ability to preserve the query string, like that Cloudflare article I linked to above mentions. (See it in an image here.)
