Domain name not working without www. Before we take this discussion further your site must work with or without the www. In the domain names section select the relevant domain name in the drop down list and click on the manage button. Some hosting providers like our partner siteground let you order an ssl certificate that will work with your domain with or without the www prefix.

Address mapping is supported only by http and not https. Then click on domain names. For the sake of seo and canonical duplicate content issues you should choose one domain option and redirect.

Finally make a decision and stick with it. Thinking about it i think on the right will only work with a cname. Step 2 of 5 scroll down to the advanced domain settings section and click on the manage dns a mx cname txt link.

Then click on words highlighted to set a redirect via google apps and you should see it done within 3 hours or max 2 days though it usually does not take more than a day in the rarest case just follow the simple english instructions there and you should see it done. Enter the prefix or subdomain of the web address typically this is www then click continue. Ideally you should have your site set up to redirect 301 from one to the other so that google doesn t penalize you for having the same content on two different sites as google will consider www to be a different site from the one without the www.

Like i said not quite as easy but really not all that difficult either. View 1 response to this answer on our full site. Save the new dns record and give it 15 minutes to 24 hours before you expect it to work.
