Problem not resolving my hosting websites without www in the begining
Hello , I'm currently hosting a few websites & i have this issue. currently any website that i'm hosting I have to type in the www in front of the domain in order for the website to come out if I type domain.com it will not resolve. I know it has something to do with the dns or webserver but I need somewere to start. I'm currently hosting this site on a windows 2003 standard server running IIS6 & Microsoft DNS server. if some screen shots are need it on the dns setting i'm more than happy to post them. THank you.

I figure it out by doing more reading . here is the quick fix for does that are not very familiar or technical.
1.- on the dns server add a A Record & only enter the ip address of the dns server.
2.- on your webserver add a hostheader domain.com . for example & have both www.domain.com & domain.com
Thanks everyone.

To see what shekerra is talking about, see www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=mixmastersrgv.com.
She is right that your SOA needs to be a proper host name. I would recommend that you do this:
(same as parent folder) Start of Authority (SOA) ns2.compuzo.net
(same as parent folder) Name Server (NS) ns2.compuzo.net
ftp Host (A) 66.135.37.134
www Host (A) 66.135.37.134
mail Host (A) 66.135.37.134
ns2 Host (A) 66.135.37.134
(same as parent folder) Mail Exchange (MX) [10] mail.mixmastersrgv.com.
If you are using host headers for your website, make sure that you have mixmastersrgv.com listed as well as www.mixmastersrgv.com.

ftp Alias (CNAME) ns2.compuzo.net.
www Alias (CNAME) ns2.compuzo.net.
mail Host (A) 66.135.37.134
ns2 Host (A) 66.135.37.134
(same as parent folder) Mail Exchange (MX) [10] mail.mixmastersrgv.com.
ns2 Mail Exchange (MX) [10] ns2.compuzo.net.
(same as parent folder) Name Server (NS) ns2.
(same as parant folder) Start of Authority (SOA) [24], ns2., administrator.
What would I need to add , can you add an example like the ones above?
