I have a domain from Godaddy.com , name is cihankoseoglu.com
I set up a ghost blog, and because i have custom domain gmail service on the domain i changed the nameservers to digital ocean and then added the MX records. the A record points to the IP address and everything seems fine.
Except that it isn’t. I can reach the website when I type *cihankoseoglu.com * but when I type www.cihankoseoglu.com i can’t reach the website. I tried messing with the CNAME record but to no avail.
I tried the solution in the following link, did not work. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/i-want-both-www-and-the-root-domain-to-point-at-my-ghost-blog-how-do-i-do-this
Thanks for the help

Interestingly, I encountered the same problem, also with a ghost-based blog. I’ll just wait some time and see…
Similar issue here. If I create 2 CNAMEs pointing at my droplet:
- test1.mydomain.io
- www.mydomain.io Then I’ll be immediately able to ping test1.mydomain.io, whereas I will get “cannot resolve www.mydomain.io: Unknown host” when pinging www.mydomain.io.
If you have an A record for @ pointed to your IP address you should just need to add the following CNAME record:
CNAME www @
