301 redirect question

Okay I don't have too much experience in editing .htaccess so please help.

Write now I have implemented a 301 redirect from Cpanel.

Here's the problem:

I want url.com to go to www .url.com. However when I implement that in the Cpanel it works fine when someone types url.com but it times out if someone types www. url.com.

Now the contents is a blog so there is php content. For now it's being redirected to www. url.com/index.php.

How do I redirect to www. url.com/

Thanks

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

Code (markup):

 

So I replace domain with gazotto.

I'm confused as how to write to the stupid thing.

I:

Download it. Make it .txt. Add that. Upload it. Rename it .htaccess.

Is that correct.

Yeap, and in this case it should be placed in the main directory.

There is something wrong on Your site with that if You're asking now?
