Redirecting sitename to www.sitename
Redirecting your sitename.com to
www.sitename.com with help of .htaccess
Create a .htaccess file or add the code to an existing one on your server.
If you are creating a new .htaccess file make sure it is in the root folder of the site.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^sitename.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.sitename.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
Where sitename.com and
www.sitename.com will be replaced by your original details of the site itself.
This will only work on apache servers with mod_rewrite enabled.

And last but not least - do not forget about last empty line (just hit Enter after last line of code twice)

The alternative rule:
Code:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.site\.us$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site.us/$1 [R=301,L]

Never heard of that.
Never had proof of that.
Could you tell me where you found this information?

Matt Cutts suggests it's a good idea:
Quote: You can make your webserver so that if someone requests http://example.com/, it does a 301 (permanent) redirect to http://www.example.com/. That helps Google know which url you prefer

Thanks
I am much happy that it helped you all. It is this that always inspires me to write stuff
· #20 New Member
The reason why you might do this for google or any other search engine is that there is a limit as to how many characters the crawler recognizes in the url. So if you have a long url with a lot of keywords in it the loss of the www gives you three extra characters.

That's a good suggestion trampy
Will keep it in mind whenever there is a situation like this. But it rarely comes. Yet it might be beneficial for someone
