Redirect http://www.mydomain.com to http://mydomain.com

Hey,

I can't remember what this is called (301 redirect?).

www.mydomain.com has PR2
http://mydomain.com is PR3

I want to redirect everything going from http://mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com..for PR reasons. Whats the code to enter into my htaccess? It is a forum.

Also, would it be best to redirect www.mydomain.com to http://mydomain.com or from mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com? Most people would link to the site using www.mydomain.com, so I would think its better for PR reasons. But then when you do a 301 redirect, isn't the PR forwarded anyway?

Thanks in advance.

 

Redirect mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com :

RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com
rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

 

Thanks a lot!

 

I could do with a bit of help on this too, so do i just drop that code into my head tag somewhere?

 

301 Redirect is what it is called:

 

What is the best way to do this for a "Classic ASP" site and or a .NET site?

 

Would this also work if I wanted to move example.com/forum to example.com? Would my file look like the following?
