DNS Record Confirmation

[otacon]

So I was just wanting to add www to my domain so when you type www.remcycle.net it would go to the correct place.

Currently I am on Debian with ispconfig 3 and verify new to owning my own NS. The Name server is ns1.remcycle.net and godaddy is pointing at it just, fine but I am not sure why www.remcycle.net is not working.

[till]

select "auto subdomain: www" in the website settings.

yeah that was already enabled and wasn't working.

So I removed the cnam www server1.remcycle.net and now it works. (well that was a simple fix)

but now I was hoping that when I go to remcycle.net it will look like www.remcycle.net, so I added aliase of

host name : remcycle.net
Target : www.remcycle.net

but it is not working yet. I will have to wait 48hours to be sure of that though... any suggestions?

[till]

Please see my answer above. You have to do this in the website settings and not the dns settings.

like i said that has been enabled this entire time and has not been working... apparently.

I added an alias for remcycle.net to point to the target www.remcycle.net and it is working perfectly now.

is there a reason why I shouldn't do this by the dns?
