Hi,

Can anyone inform me what does it mean in DNS zone file $ and @

Also let me know what my website is opening with URL: hxxp://www.example.com but not opening with hxxp://example.com

Is it DNS issue or apache serveraliases issue?

There are 3 directives starting with the "$" ($ORIGIN, $INCLUDE and $TTL)
@ is the same as $ORIGIN. Take a look here for details.

If both example.com and www.example.com resolve to the same IP address, then it's an apache ServerAlias issue.

There is one A record for www
www A 192.168.5.5

Could you tell me what record I have to write for example.com

You can use the $ORIGIN or @:

Code:

@ IN A 192.168.5.5
