How come the when I remove the www my site doesnt work?
 

Hello,
I signed up for hosting but when I go to www.mydomain.com the site doesnt work, but when I take out the www the site works fine like I expect it? Anybody good with hosting and know the fix for this? I have a nice web control panel for my hosting, I just dont want to fuck anything up. Please help!

get a real host.

your host can fix that for you

Yes, but for future refernce, how do I fix it? Anybody? Anybody?
Bueller? Bueller?

tell your host it's jacked. They'll fix it for you....

It's a DNS issue, get a real host.

Do you manage your own server, or does your host do it for you? Unless you're at a place like rack shack, get your host off his ass and get him to fix it.

I should say, do you run your own DNS server?

this means your host is clueless. They have fucked up DNS and or apache.. good news its a 2 minute fix

If you look at your DNS records, you'll see
yoursite.com xxx.xxx.xx.xx
(where the xxx.xxx.xx.xx is your IP).
In order for the domain to answer to the request for "www.yoursite.com", there also has to be a DNS record that says
www.yoursite.com xxx.xxx.xx.xx

These should be 'A' records, if you're doing it yourself.

try fbi dot com then www dot fbi dot com

they have same problem as you... maybe ask them?

Empty your temporary internet files.

lol

Don't forget to restart your browser. Last time I had similar troubles I needed to restart my browser.

Honestly though...

I heard CTRL W works

They don't have the "wildcards" set up on your server. It's a simple fix and all the domains on the box will run without the www. Much easier than doing it line by line for all the domains.

If you just recently registered the domain and set up the dns give it some time. Sometimes it takes a little while longer for www.domain.com to resolve than domain.com.

try fowarding/add alias your domains and point them to www.yourdomain.com
