n00b question: www vs no www?

sf2010 · 10-14-2006, 05:29 PM

Hello-

I apologize if I am posting in the wrong forum but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I uploaded my first new website via DW tonight but am having some trouble after updating my DNS data.

My web page address only resolves if I type in www in front of the domain name. If I do not type in the "www" portion, my browser stills goes to a parking page I had before the DNS change?

Can somone help me?

TIA
Kev

Complete DNS updates can take 2-3 days. If you've just changed it, keep waiting.

Yeah, Dan's correct.

WWW. will work when the DNS propogation is 100% completed.
