: How to set default CNAME subdomain for an URL I created a free website in Google Sites and bought a new URL, www.example.com, from Go Daddy and configured CNAME subdomain www to my Google

I created a free website in Google Sites and bought a new URL, example.com, from Go Daddy and configured CNAME subdomain www to my Google Site.

If I enter example.com in any browser it opens. But if I enter example.com (no www) it does not open my site.

I am sure that this problem is in the CNAME configuration. As per my knowledge CNAME subdomains are mail, www, ftp, etc.

How can I configure it so that if you enter the example.com URL it goes directly to the www subdomain?

You can't set a CNAME for your root domain (because a CNAME can't co-exist with any other record for the domain, and you have to have NS and SOA records for your root domain). There's no good solution to this if you don't operate your own infrastructure, except for ensuring that people always use myurl.com and not just myurl.com.
