    Hi, I am currently using CPanel for my domain hosting.

    I want to do a 301 redirection as follows:

    http://mydomain.com to

    http://www.mydomain.com/

    There are 3 options in cpanel and i am bit confused.

    www redirection:

    Only redirect with www.
    Redirect with or without www.
    Do Not Redirect www.


    Please let me know the option for the above criteria.

    Not sure if it will set 301 redirection but another way is to use .htaccess rule. Just add following two lines in your .htaccess:

    rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

    The r=301 makes it a 301 redirection :)
