Forward URL with and without WWW

Hi,

I am trying to make my domain name point to my Pythonanywhere site. It is working great with www.micknudsen.com, but today I discovered that micknudsen.com does not work. It just leads to the "Coming Soon!" page.

I bought my domain name at NameCheap, and (see screenshot) I have set up both @ and www to point to my Pythonanywhere site using CNAME.

Any clue what could possibly be wrong?

Thanks, Michael Knudsen

Have a look at the "Naked domains" section here

Thanks, I have now tried setting up an URL redirect (see screenshot), but it still doesn't work. Maybe I will have to allow for some time for systems to be updated?

cool- for future viewers, note that dns propagation takes some time (~15min to an hr). you can run dig www.micknudsen.com or use any free online resource to check when it has fully propagated.
