HI all, I have a website in html is suffering Google canonical issue, I have no dedicated server, its windows 2000, I have written a mail to my hosting like follows Hi, We want to set a preferred domain for our domain www.mywebsite.com It has cleared that Google now treats www.mywebsite.com, mywebsite.com, and mywebsite.com/index.html as different websites, the effect of which is that these pages are treated with goggle as different web pages with same content and these pages are penalized for this fact.

Prof.stan, I do not think google will penalize you because it views mywebsite.com and www.mywebsite.com as separate sites. I had my site like this for quite some time but I changed it in google webmaster tools. I do not think your web host will be able to assist you with this problem, if you do not have an account at google webmaster tools you should create one so you can make the necessary changes. You may also want to take some time and review the rules here on dp forums because you have broken the rules, you may get yourself banned for bumping threads.
simply discuss again with your customer service if they gona solve it then its fine other wise you can ask some other hosting service provider.
