@JonasLochmann For light duty you can do this in Node.js just fine. The server-level redirect only matters if your Node app can't keep up. – tadman Jul 06 '18 at 17:15

@CodyG. A `CNAME` record won't redirect. – tadman Jul 06 '18 at 17:16

Alternatively... use a DNS subdomain forward... I don't know what I was thinking before... – Cody Ｇ Jul 06 '18 at 17:17

@CodyG. DNS can be a little confusing, especially on a Friday. – tadman Jul 06 '18 at 17:27

If you're using Express, then check req.hostname - if the hostname doesn't start with "www" then you will want to res.redirect with a 301 (permanently moved) or 302 (temporarily moved) HTTP status, pointing to the new URL with "www" in it.
