Namecheap: redirect www to non-www

Hi,

I am having trouble redirecting traffic from www.sesaprojects.nl to sesaprojects.nl. I am using Namecheap because Cloudflare does not have .nl domains.

See photo 1 for redirects I had setup in Namecheap.
See photo 2 for dns records in my Namecheap.

Inside Webstudio, I only have the staging domain and sesaprojects.nl

If I did not provide enough information, please let me know.

don't you need a www. host entry in your dns?
Could you elaborate more? What type of record and what should be the value? @Rob Hudson
@hilmi I have some namecheap domains as well that aren't supported by cloudflare hosting (.ca). Here's how I deal with it:

  1. point nameservers to Cloudflare
  2. from here you can easily connect from Webstudio
  3. Add my https and redirect rules in Cloudflare

The only thing handled in Namecheap is the yearly domain fee.
How Jeremy recommended is the ideal approach for all domains
Point any / all domains to CF - they have alot better ways of handling DNS
And only leave the billing with registrar (such as Namecheap)

Within CF you can do redirection + super easy auto connection to webstudio
Thanks guys. I will try tomorrow and let you know!
