www Does Not Work

Problem

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

Cause

Solution

To resolve the issue:

  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.
