Can you help?

Hi, I need support with having my google sites website load under URL www.dskillzmusic.com

Also, when I enter in www.dskillzmusic.com it goes to dskillzmusic.com
I tried using a redirect, but I got an error and website wouldn’t load so i deleted it.

Can someone please help me resolve this? Thank you in advance for your time and help

I just set up a new domain to test so I could better help you. After setting the www CNAME entry it is working as you would expect. You don’t need to use a redirect for that.
Maybe your .htaccess has some rule which is rewriting the URL.

The www and non-www versions of the same domain always point to the same directory. So if you add a .htaccess rule saying Redirect / http://dskillzmusic.com/, the server will try to redirect people to http://dskillzmusic.com/, even if that is the exact page they are trying to look up.

You can force the www version of your domain to redirect to the non-www version by using a .htaccess snippet like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
