Re: domain does not work without www prefix, but with it it does
Both versions of the domain name (with and without the www. prefix) resolve to the same IP adress for me, so I presume that the web server software is only configured for the version with the www prefix and not for the version without.

Re: domain does not work without www prefix, but with it it does
The www is simply a sub domain. This is a complete DNS configuration. You can set example.com and www.example.com to point to two totally separate destinations, if you wanted. In order for them to point to the exact same thing, both need to be in your DNS zone file.

@PeejAvery - Both domain names (with and without www) are already in the zone file and do resolve to the same IP address. This is why I presume it is more a web server configuration issue.

Where comes DNS to play in this scenario? I think that PeejAvery is right. I could hardly imagine your scenario.
- Make it run.
- Make it right.
- Make it fast.
