Logging in without the WWW

Im having problems logging into my forums without the WWW before my domain name. I tried to test the same thing out on vbseo.com , but I noticed that vbseo.com redirects to www.vbseo.com (with the www) And this is probably why you guys dont have the issue.

I explained this in thorough detail on the vbulletin.com forums here -

trouble logging in - vBulletin Community Forum

Im now guessing this has to be a vbSEO related issue. I either need to know how to login without the WWW or if that is not possible with vbSEO...then how would be the best way to redirect my domain name so that the WWW version always comes up.

any help would be great here.

For your cookie domain in your vBulletin options, you need to have .yourdomain.com (note the leading period).

Thanks keith, that seemed to do the trick. But do you think it'll be better if I just do what your site does? (vbseo.com) redirecting mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com? Im not even sure how is the best way to do this through .httpd

Yes, it is preferred to stick with one consistent URL for SEO purposes.
