Problem #

The www subdomain does not function on hosting accounts on a Plesk server.

1. Log in to Plesk.
2. Click Server.
3. Click DNS Settings.
4. Click Add New Record.
5. Choose CNAME under the record type.
6. Enter www in Enter Domain Name.
7. Enter <domain> in Enter Canonical Name.
8. Click OK to complete the changes.
