Domain Does Not Work With www

Resolve www subdomain issues caused by incorrect CNAME/A records and DNS conflicts.

Home / Support / DNS / General Information / Domain Does Not Work With www

Common Causes

www failures usually come from alias misconfiguration or conflicting records.

Recommended workflow

  1. Missing CNAME for www to root/target hostname.
  2. Conflicting A and CNAME records for www hostname.
  3. Old DNS values cached during propagation.
  4. Application/hosting not configured to serve www host header.

Fix Workflow

Apply this sequence to restore consistent domain behavior.

Recommended workflow

  1. Remove conflicting records for www and keep one canonical approach.
  2. Add CNAME www to your preferred target hostname.
  3. Confirm hosting/app accepts both root and www requests.
  4. Retest using public resolvers from different regions.
