I'm trying to use my Hostgator domain with my Heroku app, everything works except the naked domain. Redirect didn't work for me and they don't provide ALIAS or ANAME?

Any thoughts?

  • You might be able to use the `proximo` addon to get a static IP-address, and add a `A` record to it. It is a quite expensive addon though. If you really need to use a "naked" domain, I would consider switching to DNSimple or someone else who can provide `ALIAS/ANAME` records. – NilsH May 17 '13 at 06:45

After spending hours with the customer service I found what I need. Hostgator does not provide this feature to map to naked domains without A records.

Thankfully I was able to find http://wwwizer.com/naked-domain-redirect

It's a free service and does the trick...
