Redirection Problem

[ajviloria]

How can I fix the redirection for the domain i parked? I like to use http://www.domain.com rather than http://domain.com. and is there a difference if I don't use redirection.

put this in .htaccess on the root folder containing:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

but i have applied it in a domain parking. how can i put that code in the root folder?

 

[weblord]

what parking site are you using?
you can still do that if you host the domain yourself on your hosting account and just use the cname or A of the parking program

but i have applied it in a domain parking. how can i put that code in the root folder?

newbie?
i don't know what's your reason of 301 if you just want to park it and making your life complicated? but anyways it can be done.

host the said domain on dreamhost and then put the .htaccess on it's root folder the contents I've already mentioned and put on it as well
index.php containing

<?php $URL="http://sedoparking.com/domain.com";
header ("Location: $URL");
exit();
?>

that should do it.
