Domain Not Resolving Without WWW

It has been brought to my attention that my domain name does not resolve unless someone types in "www" in front of it. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. It seems that a lot of people no longer bother to type in the "www" and just put in "yourdomain.com". When they do that it pulls up no page for me. :(

I have my custom domain set up in Smug as "www.norakramerphotography.com".

My host records reflect the following:

CNAME (alias) - host name is: www - address is: domains.smugmug.com
A (Address) - host name is: @ - address is: 208.79.45.23

Am I missing some setting to allow it to resolve whether the person types in "www" or not?

    It isn't for me. I just experienced that as well.

    Do you have your host records set up as I did above? Make sure you have this one too:

    A (Address) - host name is: @ - address is: 208.79.45.23

    My problem was I was missing that one in my records. Then I put it in and it took a while to resolve. Once it resolved I was good to go. I just wasn't patient enough. I think they say give it 24 hours, but mine resolved in about an hour.
