Last night I purchased a new domain with the intention of turning it into a vanity url service for my blog!
I created the a record on both cpanel and my domain registrar to point to bit.ly. This morning however once the domain had propagated I went to verify my domain with bitly and was still getting the same message...
Short Domain verification failed for "bblg.in". Neither an A Record
nor a CNAME record was found.
I went to to domain in chrome and I am getting a 403 forbidden page however if I goto the www. version of that domain it automatically redirects to bitly.com
Weirdly if I visit the non-www version of that domain on chrome on my android mobile device that redirects to the mobile version of bitly.com but if i visit www.bblg.in on my mobile I get a 403 forbidden page.
I assume there is some redirect issue going on which is preventing me to verify my domain with bitly and would probably need a .htaccess file on there! Also to confirm there is nothing in the bblg.in file on my server just a cgi-bin file that automatically gets placed there.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks

We have recently moved our website from the old domain to a new domain. The old domain is now empty except for the .htaccess file which is as follows (eg):
redirect 301 /examplepage.html https://www.newdomain.com/examplepage.html
However, when we test the old link it isn't redirecting.
We've tried tech support from the domain people, but they have given us a couple of bogus sounding excuses (like the old domain has no files other than the .htaccess). The latest reason they suggested was that the old domain no longer has a certificate installed so the https pages aren't redirecting.
To be fair, we do get a different result if searching for a page using http/https:
for HTTP we get "Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server."
for HTTPS we get "This site can’t be reached www.domainname.co.uk unexpectedly closed the connection.
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED"
Any ideas where we're going wrong or how to fix this...?
my website link is https://www.tweetanalyze.com/ i added tweetanalyze.com subdomain to be forwarded www.tweetanalyze.com on godaddy but it isnt working without www like https://tweetanalyze.com or http://tweetanalyze.com . My hosting provider says there is no problem in reaching it but i take this ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT all the time i try to go these links. What should i do to be able to reach my website without www? Thanks.
I have a website running on openshift (xx.rhcloud.com) and I bought a domain name from one of the BIG providers (mydomain.com).
When somebody goes to www.mydomain.com/page1.php I would like the url in the browser to stay as is and the correct page to be loaded.
Here is what happens:
If I setup the domain name host with a 301 redirect
www.mydomain.com/page1.php show as xx.rhcloud.com/page1.php.
If I ask for masking (iframe) www.mydomain.com/page1.php becomes www.mydomain.com (the reset of the url never shows)
If I setup .htaccess file on the openshift side I'm stuck with "too many redirects" error.
I cannot use Cpannel because the server is not hosted by the BIG provided I bought the domain name from.
Please help me figure out what I'm missing and how to fix the problem.
Thanks,

I have a small issue. I have tried for the last hour to find a solution for this on this and many other websites. I have found similar but none have provided an answer that works. Heres that problem:
I have a badge on my website that was given to me by Norton online protection. they provided me with a script file and I placed it where it should go. NOW, this script is registered to "www.example.com" but if someone goes to their browsertypes in just "example.com" without the WWW. the Norton badge never shows.
I spoke with Godaddy this morning and they have no solution so that's why I'm asking on here.
Is there a to send a domiain name to the same domain name? so that it always shows the WWW?
Configure your webserver such that www.example.com is one site (your actual site with your content), and you have another site that is example.com (no www subdomain) as a site that you can now configure to redirect to your actual site. How that step is done depends on which webserver you are using, but basically these is a way to do that on any webserver (Apache, IIS, etc).
You could try to read the URL and check if 'www' is present in the URL. If it is not present redirect the visitors to www.example.com
In php you could use the below for redirection
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
I've uploaded my site to my public_html folder, however I'm still getting the default cPanel page.
I've tried using both index.html and index.php files with no success. For some reason it's not realizing that I've got a valid home file in there.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this fixed?
Make sure that your domain is configured to point to account IP address. Account IP address you can see in your cPanel user interface in the left info section. Finally, DNS A record of your domain should be equal to it.
