[How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects

Can someone tell me how to redirect all pages from www. to non www version of my website ? mybetinfo.net is the website, now i can access with www and without www ... i guess htis i not good at all.

Please check first post of the thread. It has required code.

Forgive me maybe i'm complety blind, but there says pretty big ONLY for domain, i need for all pages, when i access www page to redircet me on non www version

Look i can access : Mybetinfo.net - Betsson - Be the expert !
and Mybetinfo.net - Betsson - Be the expert !

same last article one with www and another without, i need when i enter the url of www to redirect to non www, where to put the code and what code, please help me.

EDIT,

i edited htaccess and put those lines, seems is ok for articles to, i thought is only for main link, sorry about that.

It will cover EVERYTHING, so long as there's not another htaccess file below it, as that file will take over.

I use a WWW domain but I also setted up many subdomains (for CDN, for users, for blog.....) so I can't manually ad exception to htaccess for every new user that automatically gets its own subdomain. So I use thi rule to redirect only the second level domain (without www) to the www:

Code:

# check to make sure it's not a www or subdomain request
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+\.com) [NC]
# if that's the case, redirect to www.HTTP_HOST
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]

In this way:

site.com -> www.site.com
cdn.site.com->cdn.site.com
blog.site.com->blog.site.com
username.site.com->username.site.com

So only site.com is affected by this rule. Everything else pass.

If your forum is on a subdirectory:
www.site.com/forum
then you must add the name of the firectory in the last line:

Code:

# check to make sure it's not a www or subdomain request
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+\.com) [NC]
# if that's the case, redirect to www.HTTP_HOST
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%1/forum/$1 [R=301,L]

(note the final slash)

Bye

I have a 301 redirect, but I am still getting a 404 not found:
can someone help fix this:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^vipmoneymakersclub.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.vipmoneymakersclub.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.buyadtraffic\.com\/forum$1" [R=301,L]

when I click on a link from google and it tries to 301, it looks as if it is missing a forward slash.....

Hello ,

You can use following

Code:

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

Hi,

Is there any benefit to using the method in post 1 to remove the www. over the method below?

Code:

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

Hi Gary,

It may represent a problem if you would have a parked domain over your main one. I'm not quite sure if that code snippet 'eats' more resources than one one on the first post.

I'd recommend not to use it though.

Just to ask.

If I use this code:

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

this would leave subdomains out of redirecting? As I specify www.site.com?

That says "if it starts with www ... move it to non-www"

No subdomains will hit the rule.

In general, you should use the negative case to block everything, and make exceptions for the ones that exist. See the 'Making Expceptions" heading in the first post.

Be sure to check your .htaccess in case the code is already there. It was in mine My site is indexed properly in Google as well.
