Exclamation website only works without the 'www'. whats wrong?
hey guys,

all was working fine, until i renewed my domain. now i can only seem to visit my site without typing in the www.

so now, www.theodyssey.in/ does not work. only theodyssey.in/ works.

i am pretty sure it is not the web hosting company's fault, but the domain registering company. am i right? is there something i have to do with the settings? I know the dns servers are pointing to the right server.

does anyone know what it wrong?

any help greatly appreciated in advance. cheers,
akshay

They both work here also, have you got your browser to automatically include WWW when typing an address? This may cause a problem when entering the address manually.
Ex: www.www.theodyssey.in/

Both theodyssey.in/ and www.theodyssey.in/ (with or without the slash at the end) seem to work fine in Firefox.

Are you getting a "404" error?

thanks for the responses. i called up the dude i renewed the domain from and he tweaked it and got it to work.

thanks for the replies though!

regards....

BTW, i have to renew my hosting plan also. i am currently with siteground.com, and hav had no problems. they have excellent sutomer support and your queries get responded very quickly.

i host 2 sites, chantik.in and theodyssey.in. if i renew for three years, i can get both domains hosted for about 250 us dollars. is this worth it?

any other good hosters around?

$250 isnt insane if you're getting the services. 99.9999% uptime hosters can easily charge that.

But chances are you dont need that sort of uptime guarentee
