If I enter a www. before the url I just purchased hosting for, everything works great. If I leave off the www. I'm directed to dynadot.com. Is this a problem that will eventually "fix itself?" Or is there a setting that I'm not finding somewhere in my admin pages?
It is probably a caching issue and the cache should expire or "fix itself" within a couple days. Our help section has more information on caching issues.
