Nowadays, every serious entity on the web only allows access via HTTPS/TLS.
And they also implement a TLS extension called SNI (server name indication), which for security reasons tries to block exactly what you're trying to do.

No, it shouldn't.
You can't just point a hostname to an IP address and expect that to work flawlessly as a redirect - HTTP servers don't work that way.

That something mentions CodeIgniter, doesn't mean this is related. It is in no way related.
