whats your htaccess look like?

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursitename\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yoursitename.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

Put this one, in notepad then save as ".htaccess" and then upload in public_html

sure that, put your site name instead of "yoursitename". Hope it works

 

Here you go, right from the horses mouth

Good advice given by Pammer too

 

you can not solve that without coding . the best way is inserting

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seo4fun\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.seo4fun.com/$1 [R=301]

to your .htaccess file

 

Hi there,

I want to know that is the following code is enough or there is something more to be written in the file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursitename\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yoursitename.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Secondly please look at the following code is it correct?

Let's say my domain name is abc.com and I write code as following


RewriteEngine On
RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abc\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.abc.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Please tell me is the syntax of the above code is correct and additionally should I change every page of my site with the same syntax?

Yeah, it looks good. This should work

 

please don't be afraid too much, you should try yourself. If something wrong then just put old one htaccess.

For brief knowledge, check that one

You can also use Google’s webmaster console to tell Google your preferred way of using the domain: www or without www

You can also go for Canonical Hostname Redirect (non-www to www) in your .htaccess file as most of the members have sugegsted with code for it to work.

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

 

Modifying htaccess is the easiest way of accomplish your goal. It's a pretty simple change and easy to roll back if you need to for some reason.

 

what if you cant access the htaccess file??? I heard there is one code (for asp pages) that you have to put to get the same work done. Does anyone knows about it??

I personally go by the google webmaster-tool method mentioned by 'seo-expert'.

 

I have already done that in the google's webmaster console. But would like the visitors to be transferred to the www mode if they enter the domain name without www.

How is that possible??? may be some asp code that i need to fit in the header of the pages??

Also how to get rid from the www.mydomain.co.uk/index.asp wherein i dont want them and want to keep the non index version. I dont have any page that links to the index.asp version.

Please guide.

Thanks

 

Hey, i recently applied this code into my site and its woking properly. Check by typing this into your browser = vivavibrators.co.uk

-dynamicseo

 

i think that this code needs to be implemented in the htaccess file. Would it be possible for you to comment on it dynamicseo ???

Hi there,

My actual website is placed in the following place

/public_html/test/

I uploaded the following .httaccess file in the above location.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.info
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.test.info/$1 [R=301,L]

And I check the my home page in the browser like this

http://test.info/ (without www)

I can access it successfully even after uploading the .httaccess file in the

following two places

/public_html
/public_html/test/

Please note I can host 5 domains in the same account so "test" folder is for the domain in question.

Secondly, I am using the name "test" just for example.

Now anyone please tell me how to resolve this problem?

I will be really thankful to anyone who can assist me in this matter.

Best Regards

It's missing a line break. Every command in an .htaccess file must be on it's own line:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.info$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.test.info/$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

Hy,

I want to redirect my non www webiste to www. The problem is that the server where my domain is hosted doesn't support .htaccess file. What should i do? I read that i can use a php redirection. But where to put the php redirection code? How can i redirect my entire site (including subpages)?
Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks so much Pammer for this info

 

ASP

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.new-url.com/"
%>

PHP

<?
header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Status: 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com/" );
exit(0); // This is Optional but suggested, to avoid any accidental output
?>

Here is every other method for redirect that I've collected. I hope that this answers any questions about redirects.


Meta Tag

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://example.com/" />



.htaccess

Redirect 301 /old/old.html http://www.you.com/new.html



Mod_Rewrite

RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{http_host} ^yoursite.com
rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]



301 Redirect Using IIS

In internet services manager, right click on the file or folder you wish to redirect.
Select the radio titled "a redirection to a URL".
Enter the page that the page will be redirected to.
Check "The exact url entered above" and the "A permanent redirection for this resource".
Click on 'Apply'.



ColdFusion

<cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently">
<cfheader name="Location" value="http://www.new-url.com/">



ASP.Net

<script runat="server">
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.new-url.com/");
}
</script>



JAVA (Not Recommended)

<%
response.setStatus(301);
response.setHeader( "Location", "http://www.new-url.com/" );
response.setHeader( "Connection", "close" );
%>


PERL

$q = new CGI;
print $q->redirect(" http://www.new-url.com/ ");
