title: website does not work without www
body: <p>I am working on iis8 for the first time, but my website is php, but i dont think the issue is within php, because:</p>
  
  <p>if i enter: <a href="http://mywebsite.com/image.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://mywebsite.com/image.jpg</a>
  it does not load the image, just timed out page.</p>
  
  <p>but if i enter: <a href="http://www.mywebsite.com/image.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywebsite.com/image.jpg</a>
  it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>also, i can ping mywebsite.com but not www.mywebsite.com</p>
  
  <p>the answer might be very simple, so kindly dont give me negative votes :)</p>
