Can't resolve domain without www

Linode Staff

Hi,
When I visit my site with the www, the page loads normally. When I visit it without the www, it gives ma DNS error. I tried searching for a resolution but can't seem to find one. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

When setting up your DNS to resolve to your domain with both the www and without, you should set up an A record for each. To do this, just go into your DNS Manager to edit, and pick "Add an A/AAAA Record." There is a guide on doing this that I'm linking below:

To make sure your DNS is set up properly, I recommend utilizing our DNS checklist:
