I believe it is a matter of your location. I can easily access your web site through both URIs. I don't think this is something to be worried about, since at least 90% of people can (probably) access your web site with no problems whatsoever.

And please, do try to make your topic titles more descriptive.

You should make a redirect from http://www.hightradegroup.com to http://hightradegroup.com .

This is because we should start conforming to the no-WWW Class B (if not C) level. Currently, you are at Class C right now, which by their definition is the way the Internet should be but not recommended right now.

Edit the .htaccess file that you see in the public_html folder and add this somewhere:
CODE
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.hightradegroup.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://hightradegroup.com/$1 [R=301,L]


That is how I redirect my site. So if people visit http://www.hightradegroup.com, they will automatically be redirected to http://hightradegroup.com .

Hope that helps.

One thing I'd like to point out is make sure it doesn't say https: I cant remember exactly how it happened, and cant check right now because my credits are in the negative, but somehow from CPanel it redirected me with a https: instead of http: Just a thought.
