You need to either set up another A record for the domain without the www., or, you need to set up a CNAME record pointing the non-www site to the www one. You can also do it in reverse, but it sounds like you already have the www record set up.

 

Edit: You could (and possibly should, more rightly) use an ALIAS record in place of the CNAME, depending on whether you ever plan on having www itself be a separate subdomain.

I tried on Edge Windows 10 and both URL's worked for me too actually. I'm using Cloudflare as my dns provider.

Try refreshing it without caching (ctrl+f5 on the page). It may be that your browser is loading an old, cached version of the page before the domain registration was properly configured.

Both URL work just fine for me in Chrome, Vivaldi and Edge... (Both Chromium browser have Ublock, on Windows 10)

This might be an issue on your side considering pretty much everyone agrees that it works. Try clearing your browser cache.

No; it will be crawled by Google eventually, but it can take some time for a result to appear. Give it 72 hours, or check your site logs for visits by a client with a user-agent string including the term "Googlebot". Once you get that, Google's results should be updated dynamically over the course of a few hours.

Sorry, but how to check the site logs for visits by a client with a user-agent string including the term "Googlebot".

IT should be a function available to you through whoever hosts your site; everyone who visits your site will get their ip address and user agent logged (a very vague identifier of who they are and where they come from). It's used to help fight spam and provide blacklisting.

 

Check with your web host if you have access to "access logs" and you should be able to see it. Each line will look something like this:

 

127.0.0.1 - - [05/Feb/2012:17:11:55 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 140 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.5 Safari/535.19"

 

The actual format doesn't matter so long as you can search it for key words. Search for "Googlebot", and if you find it, it means google has crawled your site.

Fine, but I think it takes a few days to add it on an index and then my site will be shown on searching thapatechnical.com. Currently no result at all
