Hi,
Yes, the 'www' subdomain is working here as well, Nice Job!
If you would like to get the root/naked domain to go to the 'www' subdomain, perhaps see the following.
- If your domain provider lets you redirect your naked domain to the subdomain address (e.g. make example.com redirect to example.com) then configure that
- If you want both your http and your https top=level/naked domain to redirect to your www address then you can use a third-party service, like NakedSSL, for this.
- Alternatively add an A record of @ (or your naked domain) that points to 174.129.25.170 (a free service from wwwizer.com)
Also, for info and more options, see this page Naked Domains.
