unable to add "www" domains?!

[www.tl]

Hi all,

I think cPanel is great, but i'd like to know why it doesn't allow webmasters to add/or use domain names where the 2nd level aspect (of the overall domain) is "www".

The particular domain I am referring to is: www.tl, and it just comes up with an error each time, saying that "www" is unnecessary.

I've tried everything... redirects, parking the name, but the root problem is that cPanel just won't allow me to add this domain.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

http://domain.com is a domain name
http://www.domain.com is a sub domain of domain.com So you can't create a domain name called www.tl

Well you actually can't make domain names. You can create sub domains. Also www.ti is just imposible...

Hello

The "www" CNAME is already added to the DNS Zone by default. In addition, an entry for "www" is added as a ServerAlias in the Apache configuration file by default. Thus, you should add a domain name without the "www" prefix and then modify the "www" prefix as necessary if you do not want it to point to the primary domain name.

Thank you.

add the domain as www.www.tl and only the first www will be stripped off.

You can open a bug report if you feel there should be an exception to the "www" rule for certain domain TLDs:
