Is the server on a blacklist alot of the free ones are not spidered by goole etc as they just have so much junk on them ?
is the dns set up properly


If you are paying for service from a hosting , and www. example.com works but example.com doesn't, then your hosting company needs to fix that Contact technical support.There is no valid reason why they can't make both names work for you. It is a very simple change to the web server's configuration and they ought to be doing it automatically for every new customer anyway


if you are running the web server yourself -- here are the steps you need to follow to do the job:
1. Adjust the DNS settings for example.com. Make sure you have address records (type A records) for both example.com and www. example.com, with the same IP address. This is not hard to do at all with both Windows and Linux DNS servers.
2. If you are using virtual hosting to provide many websites on a single IP address, you will also need to tell your web server about the alternative name for the site. In your web server's configuration, add example.com as an alias for www. example.com In an Apache server httpd.conf file, this typically looks like:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /home/www/web
ServerName www. example.com
ServerAlias example.com
</VirtualHost>
Only the ServerAlias directive is new. the rest is shown to provide context. Your Apache VirtualHost configuration may not be identical.
After the configuration file is edited the Apache web server must be signaled to reload its configuration. On a typical Unix system this can be done with the following command:
service httpd reload
