Title: Message
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 Regards
