I want the website url to be always http://www.laschatz.info/.

even if the visitor types http://laschatz.info/ it should be automatically redirected to http://www.laschatz.info/

I found that this works in trap17.com too.

If I type http://trap17.com, it automatically gets changed to http://www.trap17.com/

Please help me how to do this.

i also have the same problem. you can access my site if you type it without www but if you ad www you get errors. can someone help me and delivi fix this!

MusicOnly's issue is totally different from delivi's inquiry. MusicOnly's problem will be addressed by OpaQue with your own topic posted.

delivi, it is not recommended to redirect your domain to include prefix of www all the time. This is not only bad for search engines but when you add your own subdomain, you will have to always add www.subdomain.yourdomain.ext. As you can see it can be messy.

Your domain should be always available in two formats: one with prefix www and one without. This is how people and search engines find your domain (unless you don't mind Google dropping your site from its PR and cache because one wasn't available). Trap17 (with our without prefix www) shows without redirecting to the other one. Only the forum folder replaces dropped prefix www when entered such: http://trap17.com/forums --> http://www.trap17.com/forums This is done through .htaccess redirect command. If for some reason you are seeing prefix www for just the Trap17 domain, I believe your browser setting was set to translate with the prefix WWW, and not by Trap17.

i don't want to have www prefix before the subdomains, so I want to redirect if www is prefixed to the subdomain.

for eg. http:// www.vault.laschatz.info / should be redirected to http:// vault.laschatz.info /

I also want to prefix www to the domain name, if the user doesn't prefix it.

Please tell me how to redirect this using .htaccess, should I use ModRewrite
