Dns Records For non-www domain
Hi,
My primary domain is www.example.com.
1- In /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf file should i write www domain for server name and non-www domain for server allias? Or should i write the opposite?
2- In DNS records www domain has records but i didnt create any records for non-www domain. Should i create dns records for non-www domain not to have problem during the installation of ssl certificate or in other fields?

I'm assuming you're going to use Linode's DNS Manager for this.
Let the IP address of your Linode be 192.168.0.1.
- Set an A/AAAA record for example.com to be 192.168.0.1 with a default TTL.
- Set an A/AAAA record for www to be 192.168.0.1 with a default TTL.
Commit your changes and wait 24-48 hours depending on your location in the world…then test it:
ping example.comshould reply with 192.168.0.1.ping www.example.comshould reply with 192.168.0.1.
Repeat for IPv6 addresses (except use ping -6 to test).
In /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf file should i write www domain for server name and non-www domain for server allias? Or should i write the opposite?
This depends on your preference. I would use:
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
