Set up Godaddy Domain to work without 'www'
If you have registered a new domain with 'GoDaddy' then you will have to set it up so that you can get your website like this : http://pctips.in (no www ) . Usually if you give without www, then it wont go to your web site, instead, it goes to web page showing 'This domain is parked at GoDaddy ( blah blah blah )'.
Here is how to make it go to your web site :
- Login into your Godaddy account.
- Then go to 'My Account' section ( see left top corner for link )
- Now click on '+' to the left of 'Domains' section
- Then click on 'Launch' to the right of the domain you want to set up forwarding without www.
- Then click on 'Manage' next to 'Forwarding'. A pop up will appear.
- In that enter 'http://www.your_domain_name.domain' ( e.g : http://www.pctips.in )
- Then click on 'OK' . This may take a max time of upto 2 days to take effect. So be patient and wait. (It took effect for me within 1½ hours )
Stay tuned for more updates.
