Redirect Non-WWW To WWW Page
Redirect Non-WWW To WWW page by doing a 301 redirect. To do that, create a .htaccess file or edit an existing .htaccess file inside the public_html directory. Next, put in the below into the very first line.
The following example redirects users from http://vodien.com to http://www.vodien.com
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^vodien.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.vodien.com/$1 [L,R=301] |
Remember to replace vodien.com (only an example) with the your own domain name!
Is there a benefit for doing a URL redirect? Yes there is; it helps you ensure that search engines do not crawl to two of the same page from your website which may dilute your ranking because search engines treat http://www.yourdomain.com and http://yourdomain.com as two different URL.
