@newcareertime - if you’re using wordpress, then review your site’s URL in the wp-config admin screen to make sure it is prefixed with ‘www’. Otherwise, monitor your nginx logs (both error and access logs) to see which file it is trying to open when attempting to access your www site.

6 years later this is still a problem. No digital ocean responses to any CNAME threads. They pretend we don’t exist. Their loss. Moving to another provider.
