### App Id

arn:aws:amplify:us-east-2:584873075600:apps/dq0x0kfy2jfdx

### Region

_No response_

### Step

Domain forwarding

### Status

Not Working

### Issue or question

When I go to www.mydomainname.com the website works. However, using the bare domain, mydomainname.com does not.

Even though, in my redirects I have:

```
[
{
"source": "https://mydomainname.com",
"target": "https://www.mydomainname.com",
"status": "302",
"condition": null
},
{
"source": "/<*>",
"target": "/index.html",
"status": "404-200",
"condition": null
},
{
"source": "",
"target": "/index.html",
"status": "200",
"condition": null
}
]
```

So I am confused why it does not forward to the www. domain?

Research direction

Start with the custom domains troubleshooting guide and the reported redirect configuration for the Amplify app in us-east-2. Reproduce the difference between www.mydomainname.com and the bare domain, then verify that the bare domain forwards to the www domain as intended.
