Also i want when visitors visit.. "http://earntopqualitygadgetsonline.co.uk/" they are moved to "http://www.earntopqualitygadgetsonline.co.uk/". Can someone tell me how to do this please?
mmm i can help you out to achieve what you have asked... first of all login to your domain name (dns) control panel and then find the CNAME records section. After that you can see a record "WWW", simply edit that record and replace the existing value with "@" or "earntopqualitygadgetsonline.co.uk" and save the record. If you still can't resolve this (the above technique may not work when you're website is hosted somewhere else). Do follow the instructions below: 1. open the command prompt in your PC 2. ping your website like this "ping www.earntopqualitygadgetsonline.co.uk" then you will get response from the host and you can see the IP address there, just note it down. 3. now go to your hosting account where you have hosted your website and add the domain name "www.earntopqualitygadgetsonline.co.uk" rather than "earntopqualitygadgetsonline.co.uk". 3. now come to your domain name (dns) control panel and go to "A" record section. Then delete all existing records in the "A" sections. And now add the new "A" record like this: value must be the IP address which you've noted. and other name should be "@" (leave the default one as it is) and now save the record. And then go to the CNAME records section. After that you can see a record "WWW", simply edit that record and replace the existing value with "@" (leave as it is if it is already having the symbol "@") Even I've done the same process to do the same as you are asking for. Have a look at mohith.net and you will be automatically redirected to www.mohith.net I'm sure your issue will be resolved. PM me if you have any queries. Thanks
Really helpful mate! I sure if you try to search around at youtube, u might can find some useful live demo for you too.
