Answer 1

What worked for me:

• Change your custom domain to be prefixed with www., like this:

• Save the settings and wait until www.example.com resolves and works.

• Remove the www. prefix and save again.

• Wait for browser and DNS caches to invalidate.

• All combinations should lead to https://example.com/ and no SSL error should appear.

Answer 2

The simplest way would be to add a CNAME record from www.test.com to test.com. This will definitely work, I've done it a million times for my clients while I worked at a certain domain provider. I'm not sure why they didn't suggest that. Ports do not matter here as it is a domain redirect.
