MobileMe without www prefix
 My MobileMe site does not work without WWW?
If you follow Apple's instructions concerning the connection of your domain name DNS to MobileMe by adding the WWW CNAME record then your domain name will connect such as http://www.yourdomain.co.uk.
However, if you go to your site omitting the www, eg: http://yourdomain.co.uk then this will not bring up your MobileMe website. This is because Apple's official instructions only state that you to connect the www prefix to your MobileMe site. Whilst this is exactly as it should work, you probably would prefer for people to find your site without the www prefix.
This problem is easily resolved by using your UK-Cheapest.co.uk Domain Name web forwarding feature (which is provided free with every domain name) in an 'unmasked' mode as follows:
