without www

If someone enter domain name as sample.com its shows as http://sample.com why that is not redirect to http://www.sample.com on my site?

 

im waiting for reply

 

You need to create an htaccess file and enter the following. It will redirect traffic from yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Code (markup):

There's lots of info on this on the Web. Search Google for URL rewrite or URL redirection with htaccess...

 

i want to redirect my traffic from yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com

 

could you please tell me how i can create and put that code with .htaccess file. i really dont know anything about .htaccess file even dont know how that is working i just know that is a file only

 

Code was right but I inverted the explanation. My comments are corrected now...

 

im still waiting for reply

 

Try snowbirds reply.

 

but i dont know where to put that code?

 

Now i know how i can create htaccess file and where to put code but after creating and putting that code in htaccess file now that domain is not opening, after entering url in browser that domain is not opening, could you please tell me what's problem there?

 

did you change yourdomain.com to the domain you are using this on?

 

Make .htaccess file on your server root and put that code

 

im using 2domains on my server, i have created htaccess file in that domain folder, is that right?

 

As variant: redirect on server side. Would be useful for SEO issues.

 

i had tried all but im failed to redirect, if i redirect to www with cpanel redirection option that is always failed.

check after doing that with cpanel redirection and htaccess file now site is not opening www.smsdad.com

 

Problem solved

May i ask what did u do to solve your problem? Im having similar issues with my subdomain..

www.web.blog-gurus.info used to show as error page.. but http://web.blog-gurus.info works perfectly fine.. i needed to do a redirect from non www to www format so ..i tried to tweak the dns zones, but seems like i didn't do it quite right.

www.web.blog-gurus.info is showing the same like my other domain.. www.sari-sari.org

Would greatly appreciate if any one here could help me..

 

i've contacted with my hosting company, they give me bit diffrent code after putting that code my problem solved, i guess every hosting company have some kinda diffrent code im not sure, try to contact with your hosting company.

 

yea i think some host disable/turn off modrewrite
