Philosophy and Mystery www and non-www, weird question

My money is on it being a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 baud external
There were very few 300 baud modems.
Some bigger than suitcases!

It was definitely triple digit. It took days to download Jolly Rogers Cookbook.

Yes after a lengthy conversation with the client and explaining to him things I’ve learned here, I got him to say “yes let’s redirect it”

But now that?

It’s a Linux bitnami WordPress website running on an ec2 instance on aws.

How do it do it?

I would think that it is technically two sites (now).
And you want to send all the traffic to one of the two to the other (so all traffic only ends at one site).

  1. Pick which one will be your "primary" site - LOL
    Yes! You get to decide:
    ... with WWW or without WWW ...
    ... eenie meenie minie moe ...
    ... rock paper scissors ...
    ... best out of 5 coin flips - heads I win tails you dont ...

  2. At the "not winner" site, place a redirection to the "winning" site.
    [In a race of only two contestants, their is one winner and one... "not winner"]

  3. Sit back and enjoy :slight_smile:

Step #2 may require some technical research (if not obvious) on how to redirect within wordpress or whatever actually controls access to that site.

It’s Bitnami, brother. There’s a lot going on.

It can't, not even technically. If you put a CNAME, you override SOA and NS records with those of the cname destination.

So what about these things:
Option 1:
https://animatedanatomy.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=plugin-information&plugin=all-in-one-redirection&TB_iframe=true&width=600&height=550

or this?
Option 2:
https://animatedanatomy.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=plugin-information&plugin=redirection&TB_iframe=true&width=600&height=550

can these do the job? would be much easier maybe to turn on one of those plugins?
