So now I can say my website is on.. even though it just literally has nothing but a printing *hello*

I got this *garhve.com* domain on namesilo for $9.95 per year, it's really cheap! I always want a domain that is .com suffix.
Now, the web is https, this is a bit difficult for me.
Due to personal interest, I didn't choose frame to base my website. I use **Nginx** but I don't familiar with it. making it shows my content is not that difficult even that I don't know much fancy state, but I stucked on SSL.
In order to use https instead of http, I choosed **let's encrypt**, which is good for me and it's free. However, I can only getting my non-www domain working. when it comes to www domain, it still http.
I found solutions all about using return to returning https, but it won't work
```nginx
server {
server_name www.garhve.com;
return 301 https://www.garhve.com$request_uri
}
```
This would return me a 404 error...
After searching and searching, I found where i was getting wrong.
Above statement only return https-www which doesn't hold any contents, all I need is to redirect the https-www to https-non-www.
So, change to this one
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.garhve.com garhve.com;
return 301 https://garhve.com$request_uri;
} # this block will redirect http-both to https-both
server {
listen 443 ssl http2; #http2 is newer and more secure http
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name www.garhve.com;
include /path_to_cert_file;
return 301 https://garhve.com$request_uri;
} # this block will redirect https-www to https-non-www
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name garhve.com;
include /path_to_cert_file;
#location to real content
} # this block is where we hold web content.
```
It will redirect *https-www* to *https-non-www*. Now, both domain will point to same location -- my home page.
