Redirect domain.com to www.domain.com
If you want to force clients to use www.
domain.com, you can redirect them from
domain.com to the www version with an .htaccess file.
In your public_html folder, create a file called
.htaccess
and add the code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Other versions of the same thing do a negation check to see if the domain is
not www.domain.com, but that doesn't work if you have subdomains.. hence the need for the explicit check for the value we don't want.
