In this help article, you’ll learn how to configure your domain using Naked SSL so that you can make both the non-www and the www versions of your site available for your users.
NakedSSL is free for a single domain and they'll provide an A record/ IP address that you can add for the redirect that will work for your Podia site!

Visit https://www.nakedssl.com, enter your domain name and click Run test. Once they verify it, click Let’s go.

Step 6
Don’t worry about fine tuning! Just move on to the next page!
Step 7
NakedSSL will generate an A record you now need to add to your domain provider/registrar, just like you added a CNAME record for Podia!
Adding an A record will depend on the domain registrar you are using. You can find the instructions for the most common domain registrars below, but give support a shout if you’re using any companies not listed below and we'll be happy to help!
Step 8
Once you’re done adding the A record, go back to NakedSSL and click DNS updated!
And that’s it! If you added the records correctly you just need to wait a few minutes and things should start working soon!
