Question
should i add two dns servers for non-www and www servers
i had my domain purchased in namecheap and dns records there are pointed to DigitalOcean(DO).
Now i added a DNS for test.com(non www version ) in my DO panel.
I am using nginx server and also made changes in the file
server_name test.com www.test.com;
Now Is it necessary to add other DNS for www.test.com(www version) in DO panel.
because when i go to link test.com it’s working fine but when i go to link www.test.com chrome giving me this error
The server at www.test.com can’t be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website’s name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.

I think what you’re going for in your DO DNS entries is an A record for your primary server (if single VPS, then the IP assigned to your droplet), and a CNAME record ‘www’ assigned to ’@’. Look at the Getting Started section of the DO knowledgebase.
