Hi,

I created a new droplet and added my existing domain from Godaddy. Later i configured my website in apache under /var/www/ with the name example. Now the problem is when i search example in google it is giving example.com as a first result. If i click that link it take me to apache home page, when i post complete URL like www.example.com it take me to my site page.

How can i redirect to www.example.com even i post example.com?
