 Post subject: URL as root of my domain

I have a website with an external hosting company. My website is at http://extServerRoot/~myname/
I provide this URL as root in ChangeIP for myDomain. For subdomain, www.myDomain, I create a CNAME pointing to ChangeIP root.

Two problems.
1) http://myDomain resolves to my website
while http://www.myDomain does not.

When I requested a zone file from ChnageIP, find that ChangeIP resolves this URL to an IP address in ChangeIP (not what was expected). So CNAME pointing to this incorrect(?) A record, does not resolve to my website. Needless to say, http://extServerRoot/~myname/ is valid.

2) Using ChangeIP root http://myDomain get to my website. All relative links in HTML show full path (http://extServerRoot/~myname/link)
in the bottom of browser and not http://myDomain/link, as expected.

Any work arounds for these two things?

you need to set http://www.myDomain also. Same with http://myDomain setting.

you need to change the way you code. Change your hard coding. for example.
a href="extServerRoot/~myname/link/url.html" to a href="link/url.html"
