How to add naked domain (without www) on GoDaddy deployed via Heroku?

Question

I have a domain that's been deployed via Heroku, and is up and running fine with the www. But if I go to the domain without the www, it does not render correctly. I tried adding both domains on Heroku, with www and without www, but unfortunately it still does not work.

Also, I tried following step two on here ( http://documentation.unbounce.com/hc/en-us/articles/203687274-Setting-Up-Your-CNAME-with-GoDaddy-godaddy-com- ) but continued to get an error: An unexpected error occurred. If this issue continues, contact support.

How can I add a naked domain to GoDaddy to forward to my web deployed on Heroku like my domain with www?

Thank you

Try adding another A record, with the same IP but using @ instead of www for the host name.

Also remember that changes take an average of half an hour to make effect.

I have two A records at the moment. Which IP should I add? Please look at the original post with the image update. Also just wondering how is that going to cover for the naked domain? – Jo Ko Sep 21 '16 at 21:17
You should add the IP of your Heroku instance for both records. The `@` subdomain covers for the naked domain. – Matías Zanolli Sep 22 '16 at 12:59
Sorry but could you clarify on Heroku instance for both records? Where can I find them? – Jo Ko Sep 22 '16 at 20:03
