Could someone help me with a problem I have. My site http://www.chelseatalk.co.uk always goes to http://chelseatalk.co.uk

I have two Alexa rankings. How can I link these?

This should be able to be customised in the control panel of your domain name registrar. I know 123-reg gives you the option to select with or without the www.

 

Hope this helps.

Paste this into notepad (or if you already have a .htaccess file, paste it in there)...

 

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

 

Save as .htaccess, upload to the root of your server (typically public_folder). Check that the file on the server is named .htaccess NOT .htaccess.txt

 

That should solve the problem.

Thank you will try it tomorrow and let you know the outcome!

You appear to be hosted with one.com in Denmark. I used to have a site hosted there but it would resolve with or without the www. It may be that they have introduced a default 301 redirect or perhaps you have inadvertently specified it when you set up your hosting. Check your CPanel.

I used the code above and can't access my website. Any ideas what to do?

Remove the code from your .htaccess file & look into your cpanel as others have suggested. If that fails, contact your host.

Yes put the original .htaccess file back. I take it you saved a copy, if not...?!?

 

Does it matter that much whether you have the www. or not? Most webmasters apply a 301 to resolve the address to have the www. or not have the www. in order to maximise their "link juice" anyway. So if your site resolves to not having the www. then all links will count towards it.

I hadn't solved the old but managed to get it back.

Thanks for the help!
