    ...or dns propagation. If you have just set up your dns, wait for a few days.

    Did you recently register it? It can some time before it works with www.

    That's what I was thinking. I noticed some providers create that as a CNAME
    (Canonical Name) Record instead, but...I guess that works for them better.

    It might be a tad technical for you, dhatric, but the www.domain part needs
    to be created either as an A (Address) record or CNAME. Whoever's DNS you
    are using is the one you contact to help create and point to where you want
    it to.
