Hey siti! πŸ™‚
The examples you’ve given enable WWW so your website is accessible with WWW. However, it doesn’t exactly redirect the website to www.
You can use the following code in your .htaccess for most of the popular CMS to force a www redirect (this is a https://www.domain.com redirect, so it will force your HTTPS connection too):
RewriteEngine on
​
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

I want example.com to be redirected to http://www.example.com

Option 1 – Using two A records
Name TTL Type Address
example.com 14400 A 153.92.211.25
http://www.example.com 14400 A 153.92.211.25

Option 2 – Using A record and CNAME
Name TTL Type Address
example.com 14400 A 153.92.211.25
http://www.example.com 14400 CNAME example.com

I get the error that nameservers cannot be the same as the child server names. Any ideas?

So if the primary nameserver cannot be empty and not be the same as the child server names… What are you supposed to put there?

Hey Alejandro! πŸ™‚
The procedure should be the same for Linux and Windows, as you are only configuring the DNS zone. For example – setting up the A record to your VPS is just showing your domain what IP address it’s drawing content from.
The configuration within the server could be different, for which you’d need to contact your VPS provider’s support team, but the domain configuration should be exactly as it is on the guide above πŸ™‚

No doubt DNS propagation is a time-consuming process. I checked the tool that you mentioned for the DNS Propagation, as I was Googling for more tool, So I came across a handy online tool dnschecker.org, that provides 300+ DNS servers for lookup comparing to other tools. I shared the tool for the better help of the users.
