Im running apache webserver.

All domains require you to type www. in the browser
to get to the site.
Anyone know how to get [widget.com...] to work as well?. ie without having to put in www.

AndyUK,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

You'll have to set up a new "A" record in your DNS zone file to point that domain to your server, and then arrange with your host to have requests to that domain resolve to your Web root directory (the location of your "home page"). If you are self-hosting, just copy the entry for your existing domain in httpd.conf, and change the domain name declaration.

I've never had to ask for that, ever, it would send up alarms if I had to ask.

Any web host worth his salt should have [domain.com...] and [domain.com...] setup by default.
