    I think you should have that option in your webhosting account.

    Actually I still don't understand, your site is http://www.site.com. Whatever you type in to go to your site, that is what will appear.

    those are URL's, both of those URL's are the same thing basically just different context of it. Both will still access your site as appropriate.

    Google will allow you to set your preferred domain under webmaster tools. Don't know if that helps or not.

    You can use a mod_rewrite line to accomplish this:
    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
