    Dear DP Members,

    I have seen most of the search result shows URL with as www...... but I have noticed one of my website linked as hosting.net.bd while it is supposed to be www.hosting.net.bd. Look the www host is missing at the beginning.

    Can anybody know why 'www' host is omitted by Google Search result ?

    Regards
    Nazrul.

    Have you submitted your website to Google webmasters tool with or without the www. That could explain it.

    Hang on. Just checked your website. Looks like you have not done canonical optimization of the url. Which effectively means that for Google you have 2 urls: hosting.net.bd and www.hosting.net.bd and that is not good. Two seperate urls with same content, mate your are in for duplicate content issue. Get it fixed as soon as you can and I don't mean to scare you but it is important that you get it done.

    Kneoteric_eSolutions is right, this is something that definitely needs to be addressed.

    You need to set it up so that your server automatically adds the www to the site if it is left off. Of course you can do the opposite as well, the important thing is to be consistent, especially in regards to link building.

    The simplest way to redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com is through cpanel.

    Or

    you can manually do it by adding this code in the .htaccess file:
    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com [nc]
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    
    Code (markup):

    I suggest you do what "texanweb" said. That is, 301 redirect the non-www version of your site to the www-version.

    I might be mistaken, but this is only how it shows up in the search engines results. If google can still access the "non-www" website and the "www"... then they still see it as 2 websites.
