What is troubling you?

I know this is super basic but so far, I’ve only been able to get my websites working with “www.[sitename].tld” but I’d much prefer using just “[sitename].tld”. What should the A or CNAME record look like for the latter?

When setting up the A or CNAME record. You would want to create two A or CNAME records. One with www and one using the @ symbol. That should allow you too just type in domain.com or www.domain.com.

Thanks, dash74! That’s how I had it setup but it wasn’t working. Now it seems to be.
