I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question
I installed VestaCP on a VPS by Digital Ocean
I tried to add a website (Example.com) using the VestaCP - configured the nameservers as follow:

Code: Select all

Name Server: NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM
Name Server: NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM
Name Server: NS3.DIGITALOCEAN.COM

I can access Example.com but I cannot access http://www.Example.com
I tried to use .htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.Example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://Example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

but it did not work

can someone please help?
thanks

Do you have an A record or CNAME record for www on digital ocean dns?

so add a CNAME record for the same domain? (under add records?)
I used to be on a shared hosting and all I did was changing the name servers on the domain provider and used .htaccess file to redirect domains
