Redirect non www

Search engines consider www.domain.com and domain.com to be two different pages. If you redirect the non www domain name you will consolidate all your links to one page. It is very common for people to link to your site the wrong way. If your website is hosted on a non Microsoft server you can make this change in your .htaccess file. This is a file that is saved in the root of the public part of your hosting account. If you don’t have one just upload a file named htaccess and then rename the file with a period in front of it to .htaccess. You have to do this because windows does not allow you to name a file that. You then add the line

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