301 Redirects with Yahoo Hosting - Solutions Anyone?

    I have my website www.rwebconsulting.com hosted by Yahoo.

    For SEO purposes I would like to redirect all urls not containing www.

    Examples:
    A. http://rwebconsulting.com to http://www.rwebconsulting.com
    B. http://rwebconsulting.com/about-us/default.php to http://www.rwebconsulting.com/about-us/default.php

    Yahoo Customer Support told me they dont support 301 permanent redirects but I could do a temporary 300 redirect (with PHP) by manipulating the HTTP headers
    with the header() function. But I have read that Search Engines do not like 300 redirects because of unethical uses of it.

    What should I do?
    Keep my site as-is (and negatively hurt by SEO rankings)?
    Use 300 redirects?
    Switch hosting companies?

    Thanks!
