How can I use DNS without www?
Without the ‘www’, you must set your root (non-www) domain DNS A-record to point at your web server’s IP address. This can be too rigid if you encounter availability or performance issues; the A-record is fixed and can take a day or two for changes to propagate.
Why does my site require www?
Many domain names used for the World Wide Web begin with www because of the long-standing practice of naming Internet hosts (servers) according to the services they provide. The hostname for a web server is often www, in the same way that it may be ftp for an FTP server, and news or nntp for a USENET news server.
Do you need HTTPS / / and WWW for DNS?
So you actually don’t need either of those records, the https:// and www. are not relevant, you can just make the root of your zone point to the ip of your site via an Arecord: @ IN A ip-address Where in place of @you can put the full address of your zone, e.g. example.com., but usually the @symbol is recognized as the zone root.
How do you change the DNS record on a website?
Scroll down to the Advanced Domain Settings section and click on the Manage DNS (A, MX, CNAME, TXT) link. From the Advanced DNS tab. Click on the Edit entry button next to the Type A DNS Entry with an @ that will be updated. Copy the fields that you have setup under www into the @ record, the @ record is referred to as the blank record.
