I'm having a nightmare trying to create a little start-up company and website (please I've not really been working on it for very long, so don't laugh too hard), I have trawled through 123-reg/heroku/gsuite faqs and online help and can't work it out for the life of me...

I bought the domains and ssl cert from 123-reg.
The application is hosted on heroku and I have some dns entries from gsuite.

I bought the following domains: onboardfurniture.co.uk and onboardfurniture.com

And would like that no matter what you type in from the following:
That you get directed to: https://www.onboardfurniture.co.uk

As I have also got the .com domain, I would like that no matter what you type in from the following:
That you get directed to: https://www.onboardfurniture.co.uk

Surely this is quite a straightforward scenario that should be quite easy to configure on these platforms?
 
i have a hostname: www, type: cname, destination/target: onboardfurniture.co.uk.herokudns.com. on .co.uk, but that only seems to pick up www and not the ones without it.
 
If i create an @ record, then the email will stop working via gsuite as that will ignore all their DNS entries.

Apparently that's only if the @ points to a cname, not as A record and IP address.



This should work:

.co.uk:
@ | A | 176.34.235.230
www | cname | onboardfurniture.co.uk

.com:
@ | A | 176.34.235.230
www | cname | onboardfurniture.co.uk (or set it to .com, then create a 301 redirect on your server if you can to .co.uk)

.. plus your gsuite DNS settings.
 
This worked a treat, thanks man! I really appreciate your help. Drop me a pm with your address and I'll send you a thank you.
