I have my public web site hosted in SharePoint Online. The site works fine for what it needs to do. I also have Lync and Exchange hosted with Office 365. They also work just fine. I have set them up as described in http://office.microsoft.com/client/15/help/home?Shownav=true&lcid=1033&ns=O365ENTADMIN&ver=15&services=MCOSTANDARD%2cSHAREPOINTSTANDARD%2cEXCHANGE_S_STANDARD&HelpID=O365E_DNSMgr_DomainPurpose
I have my Domain records hosted at Go Daddy. That seems to work fine as well.
When I go to http://www.deucesdetail.com this work fine - I get my web page.
However, when I only type in http://decuesdetail.com (no www prefix) I get the Go Daddy page that says my domain isn't configured yet. This is a huge issue for me since many of the search engines start with that domain, and I've heard from customers that they can't get to the site.
I called Go Daddy and they said that I need to point my @ A Record at the IP Address of the service - but my understanding is that SharePoint Online can't be referred to by and IP Address they must use a domain name.
I can't be the first person with this problem - is there a simple alias I can do with Go Daddy to point http://.deucesdetail.com to http://www.deucesdetail.com? Is there a way to get an acceptable IP address for the @ A Record?
Thanks in Advance!
