Stupid Web question...

I know that the answer to this is going to be a real head-slapper (doh!)  but this is driving me nuts.

I have set up my .mac account with domain forwarding at GoDaddy.  when I type in the following:

http://www.247phil.com

It works fine, goes right to the site.

BUT, if this is typed:

http://247phil.com

I get a "PARKED BY GODADDY" page.  WTF?!?!?

Do I have to do some kind of other forwarding to make sure that this doesn't happen?  Any help would be great, I feel like an idiot right now.

Re: Stupid Web question...

It's definitely another setting at godaddy, but it's changed so much since I last set up my own domains I wouldn't know exactly where to look. I'm sure there's a setting in the domain manager or DNS control area.

...how long has it been, BTW? This may just work itself out in a day or so.

Re: Stupid Web question...

Nope, the domain points to their parked page, and only the www aname record points to the webpage.

Open your account and go to manage, on the bottom there will be four or five links and one is dns or domain name management or omsething along those lines. You'll see, again, four or five rows with a few values, the ones on the left will say like www, ftp, asp, http (maybe?). copy the long address from the www row into the top row which will be empty in one field.

www is just a name for a server or set of servers or parts of a server, nothing more.
