The www subdomain
www
is just like any other subdomain, but is an extremely common cause of confusion. Follow these steps if your domain only works with (or without) www
in front of it.
My domain doesn't work without www!
If www.example.com
works, but example.com
doesn't:
Add web forwarding
to make example.com
redirect to www.example.com
:
- Choose 301 Direct (permanent) Forwarding
- Leave the “subdomain” field blank
- Type
www.example.com
in the “forwarding address” field (replaceexample.com
with your domain name). - Submit
This change should take effect immediately if the domain was already pointing at our web redirection/parking service. Otherwise, the change will take at least 3 hours to propagate.
