Non www URL not working for wordpress

Question

I am setting up a website on Digital Ocean using the one click install option. Site works fine, but I am facing 2 issues.

The non www url is not working at all.
When I try fetching it as google inside the search console, it says temporary unreachable.

Can anyone suggest me on how to proceed further? The URL is www.indiacityblog.com

Thanks in advance

This is probably because you haven’t configured your DNS settings properly. Please make a screenshot or output your current DNS records of this domain and I could help you out.

  This could not be a case, but however I would try even this, just to be sure it’s not root of problem…
  
  As far as I see you added domain with www in DigitalOcean DNS settings.
  Do the following:
  
  Login to DigitalOcean Cloud panel
  
  Go to Networking
  
  Check if your domain is indiacityblog.com or www.indiacityblog.com
  
  If your domain is www.indiacityblog.com do the following:
  
  Open it and write down settings
  
  Return to Networking
  
  Click on more on right side of www.indiacityblog.com
  
  Click Delete and confirm it if needed
  
  Add domain but this time DON’T include www (e.g. write ONLY indiacityblog.com)
  
  Config it as you wish
  
  If it is not the case, we can try something other
