My site is www.recipehearth.com, the domain name with the "www" resolves fine every time. If you type in only: recipehearth.com , it will either take you to a blank screen or occasionally it will resolve correctly to http://www.recipehearth.com as it is supposed to. The fact that the domain recipehearth.com does not resolve correctly to www.recipehearth.com every time is what my problem is. Setup: WordPress 3.7.1 LAMP stack (Ubuntu 12.10) What I've done so far: -Activated htaccess in Apache (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-the-htaccess-file) -Reviewed my htaccess file and made sure I am using the standard configuration.

# BEGIN WordPress 
 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule . /index.php [L] 

 # END WordPress

Not sure if this matters: -If you tell it to go to a page/or login such as recipehearth.com/blueberry-sorbet-macarons/ it will go with no issues, even though the www is not in the address. -My site is not located in /var/www it is in /home/wordpress/public_html Any thoughts or ideas on what this could be are appreciated!
