Hi,
one of my customer's
domains came back with:
ERROR: I couldn't find any A records for www.CPBAKER.COM. But I did find a
referral to ns1.webhost.hm-software.com. (and maybe others). If you want a
website at www.CPBAKER.COM, you will need an A record for www.CPBAKER.COM. If
you do not want a website at www.CPBAKER.COM, you can ignore this error.
DNSREPORT reports
this in RED as an ERROR.
I think that is
misleading. At BEST it could be yellow/warning. After all, there is no RFC that
requires that every domain must have a "www" host. What next? An error if
we don't define ftp.domain.com -
just in case someone MEANT to have that host name? How about
"mail.domain.com" - that's also a "popular" name that someone could possibly
have wanted but forgot to define... :-)
You could see if the
domain itself (domain.com) answers on port 80 - and if so, suggest that "www"
might be missing.
Best
