The "www" subdomain for my site is not working, how do I fix it?

Question

I have a site http://example.tk. This is working fine. I have only an IP address for setup. Current configuration is 'A record' --> IP address of the site.

But http://www.example.tk is not opening. What should I do? My domain is registered with Freenom.

Solution

This just might be the shortest answer I have ever written...

You need to create a CNAME record in your DNS that points www.xyz.tk to xyz.tk.

@closetnoc That's an answer.

@w3d Yes. You are right! Thank You. I was trying to fix a TOE key issue with Ubuntu that has disabled (still) one of the on-board NICs and stopping all network access for the server. When I get busy and focused on something, I drop a lot of turdletts (my scientific term)- this is just one.
