Redirect your non www url's to www

[hhhgame]

In order to redirect all of the requests for yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com, you should set the appropriate rewrite rule. This can be done by adding the following lines at the beginning of the .htaccess file in your public_html folder

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

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

After this successful step any non www url's gets redirected to www url's

Just to let you know that you shouldn't do this lmao, www is considered as a subdomain and might give you more traffic since google will most likely index www links and non-www links :P

 

[lib3rty1]

but doesn`t google index non www and www as 2 different sites ?

 

[Whoo]

^Not 2 different sites, just a site with a subdomain. Which means -> more indexed links == More traffic.

Oh, got ya, so it is for www really good. So my www redirecting is working but I don`t see it in my browser ?

 

[Hillside]

does this mean putting www gives me more traffic?

I think google and most search engines are smarter than this.

Well, once I type in my url www.ragedneighbors.com it redirects me to ragedneighbors.com so I don't think it matters anyway.
