My site won't work unless www. is typed, can you help?

I can't figure out why the site won't come up without the www. typed, thank you all.

 

Add the following code into your .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L, R=301] 

Code (markup):

 

Follow what Richie has told ... also to know more on 301
http://www.gnc-web-creations.com/301-redirect.htm

 

Or just point your domain at the same IP as your www.

 

You can check with your hosting company and ask them to change the host header to that both URLs i.e. with www and without www lead to the same URL. i.e when someone types in without the www, it will redirect to the site with the www.

 

Also check the "ServerAlias" option in your virtualhost entry..
