-
can’t view www. website in browser
Hi
when I try to get to my blog using
http://www.blog.livingterracotta.com the website cannot be displayed but is displayed from the browser by using blog.livingterracotta.com
I recently created a cname alias, is the problem with the settings there or on my wordpress account.
I’ve tried searching through the support guides but can’t find any answers.
Thank you

Hi there,
It is actually not possible to add “www” to a URL that is already a subdomain. This can only be added to your main domain
For example, http://www.domain.com is a domain name that has the “www” subdomain on it. In the early days of the internet, it was common to add the “www” subdomain to the front of a domain to properly route traffic to the world wide web, but it is not necessary today, as all websites are on the web by default. That is why http://www.livingterracotta.com/ and http://livingterracotta.com/ both go to the same place.
On the other hand, a subdomain is anything that replaces the www in a domain, like blog.domain.com. Because blog.domain.com is already a subdomain, it is not possible to add a second subdomain (www is just a subdomain) to arrive at http://www.blog.domain.com
Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
