Domain doesn't work with 'www.' infront. - GramHQ - Feb 14, 2018

I'm not too experienced setting up vps's. I purchased a droplet at digitalocean and a domain from godaddy. Transferred to dns to digitaloceans default nameservers and my website has no ssl certificate nor does it work when www. is added before the domain.

I'm sure it's something simple but if you help me fix it, add https (ssl certificate) and www. before the domain, I'll hook you up with 50$ <3


edit: domain http://gramhq.com doesn not work as http://www.gramhq.com or https://gramhq.com

You either have to wait until the DNS servers update,

or just buy a domain from NameCheap + WebHosting, which is much easier than VPS.

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

Set your PC DNS to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 (FREE TPB access too)
(Public Google DNS)

If problem is not solved, you've incorrectly configured your website DNS settings.

I don't need to change my pc dns.
Here's the domain http://gramhq.com

Your website DNS is not properly configured. Open a support ticket with your provider or try to change them yourself. It's just a record basically that points it to the right place.

I understand the ssl part a bit harder, if anyone wants to configure this for me 50$ still stands

Really? Just open a support ticket, your host (godaddy in this case) is there to help you out with this stuff for free. Also, the SSL certificate will be renewed for obvious reasons.

Just saying, if you have a cPanel with the Let's Encrypt module installed, it's just a matter of renewing the certificate with the new info and you're good. Godaddy can take care of your www problem for free and you saved yourself $50 ;).
