@babudisplaynam

By default, our domains are setup to work with both the naked domain and the WWW version. You could advertise your domain name with or without the WWW. Also, at this time, it looks like http://www.unlocksoul.com is resolving to the same page as unlocksoul.com.

Hello,
I happen to have an issue with the www.
my domain name is NaserPhoto.com which is successfully forwarded to my facebook page, but once I add the www. to the domain it goes to my previous website and not my facebook page.
any way to resolve this please ?

@naserphoto,

Looking over your issue, I am showing NaserPhoto.com and http://www.NaserPhoto.com resolving to the same Facebook page without any issue. Seems like you were able to get this worked out already.

@seat,

Not sure I follow your specific issue? When testing ‘youbalkan.com’ and ‘www.youbalkan.com’ I see both URL paths resolving. Are you looking to have requests from ‘youbalkan.com’ redirect to ‘www.youbalkan.com’?

I have a problem with the domain megadesigns4all.com, sometimes I do not routed to the domain, if I get high with http://www.megadesigns4all.com routed correctly even tells me that the domain does not exist, I can do?

The domain megadesigns4all.com is not currently registered. If you would like to use the domain with your site, you can register the domain at http://www.GoDaddy.com/domains.

in case you dont use CNAME records, htaccess can redirect too:

In your FTP root (maybe in public_html) should be a file called .htaccess, then open it and add this code into it (problably after the first line, bofore other rules start) .

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

( if there is not such file, then create a simple new text file with notepad and upload to the website root directory, and rename it to .htaccess )

This is 301 (which is permanent redirect), and then after a few weeks the site will be visible with www in Google search engines anymore.

(Difference between CNAME and htaccess:
the CNAME is a DNS record that points http://www.example.com to example.com’s server so that if a browser tries to open http://www.example.com then it opens example.com’s host. HTACCESS is a rule on the host, that means “when anyone enters example.com, redirect them and tell them that they should have loaded http://www.example.com” )
