301 redirect question

[TwisterMc]

Would it be a good idea to do a 301 redirect if someone typed in http://twistermc.com to http://www.twistermc.com

Would there be anything wrong with that? They are the same site, only one has PR and one doesn't. ;)

It's a good idea... then if someone links to twisermc.com (without the www), it counts as a link on your normal site (all links would be consolidated).

Umm how would i set that up? I now how to do a 301 but I usually do it from a file to a site. How to I do it from a site to a site?

One of my working site-to-site 301 Redirects is:


Redirect 301 / http://www.gsm-security.net/

[TwisterMc]

Umm that broke everything. I got a redirect timed out error. Isn't / the same for http://www.twistermc.com and http://twistermc.com

That depends up your web server configuration.

Which web server are you running?

What directories do you have each virtual host pointed to?
