Hi all i am trying to figure out how to redirect mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com.

 

I have been using website grader and it suggested i do this with a 301 redirect but how can i do this i tried to do it at godaddy with no effect and in cpanel with no effect? would it be a htaccess edit?

 

Any help would be great.

Did you try changing the nameservers in godaddy?

No i don't want to change nameservers i just created a forward

In a .htaccess file in the root folder have something like this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks that did the trick

Hi Just to let you know, your site still appears for the non www version. Try this article http://www.smartlabsoftware.com/howto/redirect-index-page.htm

 

You also have the /index.pho version of the Home page so the above link will help with that too. This is important to fix as people may link to either version and will therefore split your link juice...
