    I just sett up a new blog using worpress.

    The blog will not show up if I use www.domain.com

    It will however show up if I use domain.com

    I have been playing with it all morning and can't figure out how to make it dynamic or automatically go one to the other?

    Any help?

    Actually you should contact your host to help you on this issue.
    They can fix this for you.

    Good luck.

    Thanks, well, the domain name is through godaddy, but the hosting is through TGV. Hopefully they can do something!

    You have to redirect the subdomain, www, to your site too. For now its just your domain(that is domain.com) that is redirecting to your host. Or you could pont *.domain.com then every subdomain will lead to tour site.

    If you don't know how, contact GoDaddy.

    Google the 301 Redirect WordPress plugin. Then install it, activate it, and it will update your .htaccess file to automatically redirect you.

    This will both fix your problem and avoid duplicate search engine content.

    You have a shared LINUX web hosting account.
    Your above problem can be solved ONLY by your host.
    Do not play with other things or you will mess up your account.

    Good luck.
