# Remove "www" and redirect to "https" with nginx

To remove the "www" from URLs and redirect all incoming traffic to HTTPS in Nginx, you can use a server block that handles both scenarios. Here's an example configuration:

1. Open your Nginx configuration file for your site (commonly found at `/etc/nginx/sites-available/yoursite` or `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`).
2. Add or modify a server block to handle the redirection. Here's an example:

```
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.yourdomain.com;

    # Redirect www to non-www and to HTTPS
    return 301 https://yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name www.yourdomain.com;

    # Redirect www to non-www and to HTTPS
    return 301 https://yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    # Your regular HTTPS server block configuration goes here
    # ...

    # Rest of your SSL configuration for yourdomain.com
    # include SSL certificate, key, SSL protocols, etc.
    # ...
}
```

In this configuration:

- The first two server blocks handle HTTP and HTTPS requests for `www.yourdomain.com` and redirect to `https://yourdomain.com`.
- The third server block handles HTTPS requests for `yourdomain.com` and should contain your regular site configuration for handling HTTPS traffic.
1. Save the changes and exit the configuration file.
2. After making changes, reload Nginx to apply the new configuration:

```bash
sudo systemctl reload nginx
```

This will redirect both `http://www.yourdomain.com` and `https://www.yourdomain.com` to `https://yourdomain.com`.

Ensure you have the appropriate SSL configurations and certificates set up for `yourdomain.com` in the last server block to handle HTTPS traffic. Adjust the server_name and SSL configurations according to your specific setup.
