Why when I type in www.hondasake.com does my site come up, but if I type hondasake.com with no www it dosen't?

Question

I used blogger for my host and godaddy to register my domain. And it works great, but if visitors to my site don't type in the www, they don't end up where I want them to. I called godaddy and contacted google, each blame each other and since google's service is free, it's hard to argue.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

www.hondasake.com means a "www" subdomain of a domain named "hondasake.com". So if you did not specify the default subdomain, typing hondasake.com will return error. Why don't you create a redirecting page in hondasake.com to www.hondasake.com?

Use this PHP script, then save as index.php then upload to the main directory of hondasake.com (not the subdomain).
header('Location:http://www.hondasake.com/');
?>

It's got nothing to do with you, that's the way the DNS servers were set up for your site. I don't think you can change it.

TIP: type hondasake, then hold down the CTRL key and hit Enter. Your browser will fill in everything else automatically.
