    Do a 301 redirect on any traffic to your site using the www. domain to the non-www.



    Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to www(dot)domain.com will get redirected to domain.com
    The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)

    I couldn't post the code because i cant post links or anything yet, but see: webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php
