Problem - domain name with and without www
Hi guys,
I was wondering if you could help me with an issue Im having on a friends website.
He has purchased the name peterbayless.com and the name has been linked correctly to the webspace.
The problem is, if you goto http://www.peterbayless.com the page will not display, but if you goto http://peterbayless.com the page will display, how do I fix this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

That would be a problem with the webserver configuration. It needs to have virtual host/host header info for both domain.tld and domain.tld. But, both seem to be working for me

Yeah I have spoke to the host and they say that there has been a change to the nameservers so i had to wait for it to update.
Funnily I hadnt made any changes... Oh well, yet another awesome host! I dont think there is such a thing as 'a good cheap host'
Thanks for the reply and yes it all seems to be working again now
Cheers

They need to make sure that the A record is there (in the DNS zone file) for www if its not then it simply will not work.
