Make domain.com point to www.domain.com

[areidmtm]

Open or create a .htaccess file in the /public_html/ directory (if the domain is an add-on domain, then the .htaccess file will be located in add-on domain's directory)

Put this at the top of the .htaccess file (replacing 'domain' with yours)

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

And of course the opposite..

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

For me it doesnt work. I get a page that says that "This site was moved to this location" and the word "this" is a link to "domain.com" and get an infinite loop.

[EDIT]

Forget. It was a conflict between the wordpress config and .htaccess settings. Changed it in Wordpress Admin Panel and everything is ok.

Another newbie here.

I've tried to insert your text into a new .htaccess but changing the suffix from ".com" to ".co.uk" however it seems to be redirecting to the ".com".

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.co.uk [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [r=301,nc]


Is there something else I've missed?

[Basil]

Only if something else is redirecting it.

You need to place a \ backslash before the periods on the rewritecond. The following is an example of what is working for my site
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.org [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.org/$1 [r=301,nc]

Try this for your site
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.co\.uk [nc]

The Apache writeup

I'm sorry, and I know this has been asked before. I registered with godaddy, but then purchased the webhosting from BlueHost. How can I pull my domain from godaddy to bluehost?? YES, serious noob.

You edit the nameservers to change them to point to ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com
