so I've set www.mydomain.com to point to ghs.google.com, which correctly loads my Google site, but if you go to mydomain.com, it doesn't redirect/forward to www.mydomain.com, it just hangs. is there a way to change this in the Godaddy DNS manager?

I had a goDaddy account and their support is actually nice. Give them a call and they'll help you. Other than that I don't think this is the place for such a question. – PedroC88 Mar 1 '11 at 15:24

It's not a DNS setting; you need to set up a redirect from mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com. Fortunately, Godaddy provides this service for free; follow the directions at http://community.godaddy.com/help/article/422

perfect thanks, that was it – chrismarx Mar 1 '11 at 15:48
Does this forward example.com/something to example.com/something or does it ignore the rest of the URL? – asattar Mar 23 '11 at 9:12
@CodingTales: yes, it will redirect all requests to the same URL with just the hostname replaced. – Wooble Mar 23 '11 at 12:46
