fragholrok,

I'm glad you were able to find a way to get your site working. Admittedly, it's a little hard to understand exactly what's going on with your domain name without more specific info, but I wanted to jump in and mention one thing.

You weren't sure if you could forward your domain to the www subdomain. It depends how you have it setup - sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't. According to your original post, the www subdomain is setup with its own CNAME (as opposed to mirroring the main A Record). Because of this, you COULD forward your domain to the www subdomain - ie, forward domain.com to www.domain.com - using GoDaddy.com's domain forwarding functionality.

If, however, the CNAME for a subdomain is set to '@', which means it directs to the main A Record, forwarding the domain to the subdomain would not work.

I just wanted to clarify for anyone else who might come across this thread.

Good luck with your site,
