Server question (I think)
 

I have a friend who asked me about this problem he's having and I don't really know about servers or any backend stuff, so here goes. His site comes up if you type http://www.sitenamehere.com but not if you just type in http://sitenamehere.com

What gives? Anything he can fix easily?

Yup his host (or him if he has access) has to make changes his webserver, be it apache or iis. or whatever.

Easy. Email the host. Problem solved.

if its apache, in his httpd.conf it should be
servername mysitehere.com
serveralias www.mysitehere.com

under that virtual host.

Thanks a bunch :)

I'm not sure what type of servers they have. They have them inhouse and apparently have some nitwit IT guy. I'll pass on the info though.

dns may also be the problem, he might have an A record for www.domain.com but no A record for domain.com, the other possibility is whether or not its in the httpd.conf file both names need to named there
