@Hamaas447

name.com isn't a domain it is a hostname/subdomain derived from name.com.

The domain, is name.com.

So what you have asked is not possible.

If you had a domain name.com you would configure an Alias so that your website also accepts requests from name.com and then you would make sure using a 301 redirect that all requests are routed to either the name.com version or the name.com.

You can't purchase "www.name.com" from a TLD (top-level domain) registrar; you can only purchase name.com, and then the DNS servers for name.com would be responsible for handling the portion.
