Need help to redirect .xyz.com to www.xyz.com(auto)

Hello DPs,

I have just buy a new domain and i need little help for that.

whenever im trying to go to my domain name by typing it in address bar like
"xyz.com" then after full page load it looks same... like "xyz.com"

i need help for it to redirect like this
whenever i or someone else type in address like
"xyz.com" then it should automatically assign the www.xyz.com after full page load..

how can i do that?
do i need to make changes to DNS?
expert please reply...

Regards,
YOGI.

 

Put this in your .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Replace domain.com and www.domain.com, you must have mod-rewrite enabled.

Voila!

 

Who are you buying the domain names from? I purchase through godaddy and they are really easy to set up forwarding/redirecting and masking
If you contact the company that you are purchasing from, they should be able to advise you on that
If not, you should probably purchase your domain names from another company. Again, I use godaddy and really like them I don't really know of any other companies because I have only used them

 

Thanks for this help...

@mreb1010

I had too purchase it from Godaddy..
can u tell me which steps i have to use to do that?

 

Don't listen to him, I think he misunderstood the question or I think he's referring to other redirections.

Rep if I helped you

 

i will do it my friend... but let me first try it...
if it works than i sure rep u...

 

Yeah the .htaccess trick is exactly what you want, that way Google will apply power on one page only, instead of splitting it between http://doma.. and http://www.doma...

 

yes... thats y i want to use it...

 

Sure buddy.

 

By the way, I may be wrong but I think the third line had a little typo. Try this if it don't work:

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

 

hhmm ok..
i will check and reply u back..

 

are you using cpanel as the control? in which case u can easily do it from cpanel. Its the same as changing .htaccess only it does it for you!

Go do rewrites put the domain name and say wildcard and make the redirect url to have the www

 

I use this trick on every site of mine except wordpress blog because wordpress has a similar system built-in.

here are the code for .htaccess :

 

is it working properly?

@anakrantau

 

yes that will work. Just add to .htaccess but you need to enable mod_rewrite.

 

hey.. i just found solution for it from
http://www.searchenginepromotionhelp.com/m/articles/search-engine-problems/domain-redirection.php

I have just tried it on my WEBSITE and it work like a charm...
THanks for the help guys...

 

using google webmaster to direct all your domain.

 

yes... i know that method too...
but if i use it then what about BING and yahoo?
they will consider my site have two url's!!!

 

The link you gave, same effect with the code I gave you

 

with the code that I given you do not need to write down every domain to each of your site.
just make one .htaccess and insert that codes I given and you can copy those files to any site you like.
