This is the current DNS setup of Hover nameservers:

Hover uses subdomain redirect when forwarding naked domain to www subdomain. Unfortunately, SSL does not work when using the subdomain redirect.

The only way to make this work without paying for fixed Heroku IP is to pay for a DNS provider that implements CNAME-like functionality on the naked domain.

Using a DNS provider would allow me to use the naked domain as the primary domain which is what I prefer.

DNS Providers Pricing

Provider	Price 1	Price 2
DNSimple	$5/mo unlimited queries
DNS Made Easy	$2.5/mo 5M queries
Easy DNS	$2/mo 1M queries	$3.5/mo 5M queries
PointDNS Heroku Addon	for free 10k queries	$15/mo 1M queries

I expect no more than 1M queries now with TTL set to 1 hour for A records and 24 hours for CNAME records.

More details are recorded in Lessons Learned Gitbook.

Resolution

Not right now. Just set the preferred domain for Google to www.

Later use DNSimple because of unlimited queries and friendly nice website indicating usability focus.
