    I am having a problem with ether my server of GoDaddy.
    Purchased a domain last night and changed the name servers.
    Not if I enter my domain without the www before the domain it works fine.
    Once I enter the domain with the www it goes to GoDaddy parked page.
    How can I fix this?

    Give it time, the nameservers can take 48 hours to change.
    Try the ipconfig /flushdns command from your run box.

    This happened to me before and it took the full 48 hours. For some reason, the www does not set-up as fast as without. I just ignored it and two days later it was working. It will fix itself.

    The "www" in front of a domain name is an "A" record in DNS. You need to make sure a www record exists for your domain name. If GoDaddy hosts your DNS, you can verify in your domain control panel whether or not a www record exists. Usually when you first create a domain name, all A records point to he same place with a wild card. Example: *.yourdomain.com. I hope this helps a little, although you may have already resolved your issue.
