ie7 when i type www.fileonfire.com it works great but fileonfire.com it dose not work can someone help me ?
why in ie7 it dose not work when i type fileonfire.com with no www ???

 

Have no idea what the cause of that is, but it is better to permanently redirect one version to the other anyway.

If your server is running on Apache, you can create a .htaccess file and put the following code in there.

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

That will permanently redirect fileonfire.com to www.fileonfire.com

 

where should i store the .htaccess ? i am using plesk 9 with cenots

 

in the root folder, where your index page is.

Also do a search in Google for .htaccess and you will find some helpful info.

 

possible reasons
- you havent cleared your cache
- your dns settings is pointing www and no-www on two different files

otherwise, use 301 redirect

 

the same problem i have.

 

Also in Google Webmaster Tools you can configure which of those two you want to use. That should help make sure that Google search engine results are consistent - either they all point to "www.fileonfire.com" or they all point to "fileonfire.com", whatever you prefer.
