Tumblr redirect user domain - www for non-www

Tumblr doc ' Using a custom domain name is very useful as it clearly states that I need to create an A-record for example.compointing to 66.6.44.4so that my site is accessible through example.com .

But I do not understand this: How to do www.example.comfor the user example.com?

It goes without saying that this needs to be done via DNS, using the Tumblr-compatible method (just in case there are any incompatibilities).

From the search I read that it is NOT possible to redirect example.comto www.example.com. I can only hope that this is NOT true.

If, unfortunately, this is true, the only option is to create a CNAME record that points www.example.comto domains.tumblr.com- right?

Oh! As indicated in this answer , you need to create two DNS records as such:

  • Record: pointing example.comto66.6.44.4
  • Record: pointing www.example.comto66.6.44.4

I checked the domain in the answer - emmaraviv.com- apparently being www.emmaraviv.comredirected to emmaraviv.com. So there it is!

You need to create two records, A record for a two-level domain ( example.com) and another A record for three-level domain ( www.example.com), then add example.comin Tumblr > Settingsto your blog, and now example.commust be redirected to www.example.comwithout a hiccup - as far as I can see it.
