    Hi all

    After creating my web site in ISPConfig and setting up dns, I get the following, from internal and external browser:

    http to IP address goes to ispconfig's 'shared IP' page (this is correct, I think), so does http://domain.tld (this is not correct). However, http://www.domain.tld goes, correctly to the web site index page.

    When I check domain.tld using pingability.com's quick DNS check, it now returns no errors or warnings, but states "There is no 'www' subdomain for domain.tld" - I'm not sure how to correct this problem. I've tried creating a co-domain, but that makes no difference.

    Thanks in advance

    Please add a co-domain domain.tld with empty hostname to the website www.domain.tld

    Thanks, but I already have that co-domain in place: image attached

    No, you have www.heffernans.net, but you must also add heffernans.net (without www)...

    I now have 'heffernans.net' and 'www.heffernans.net' as co-domains, but It hasn't made any difference. When I test heffernans.net, it still shows "There is no 'www' subdomain for heffernans.net".

    My co-domain setup now looks like the attached:

    Co-domain deleted - Hope this is enough info - restrictions on image size prevents me from uploading the whole page:

    Hi 2ndmouse,

    an IP address for a public website has to be public also. You're using a private one.

    Thanks T-mug, however, as you can see from the image below, I have the option of private and public in the drop-down menu. I've tried both configurations. Neither option makes any difference.

    Regards

    The internal IP address is correct if you are in a nAT enviroment behind a router.

    Does www.heffernans.net has an DNS A-Record that points to the external IP address of your router or is www.heffernans.net some kind of redirect?

    As far as I can see, there are no A records for neither heffernans.net nor www.heffernans.net:
