domain works only with www in front

Hi, I recently upgraded to a Hacker membership so I can use my own domain name. I followed all the instructions and linked my domain name (from Goddady.com) but whenever I type in my site name aka something.com it does not redirect me to my page.The only thing that works is when i type it in like this : www.something.com . Any suggestions ?

You may be able to get this to work by forwarding your domain.

For GoDaddy, go to domains, dns settings, forwarding section, and then set up forwarding so that your_domain.com points to http://www.your_domain.com with a permanent redirect (301).

See if this works for you.
