Redirecting sitename to www.sitename

Redirecting your sitename.com to www.sitename.com with help of .htaccess

Create a .htaccess file or add the code to an existing one on your server.

If you are creating a new .htaccess file make sure it is in the root folder of the site.

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

Where sitename.com and www.sitename.com will be replaced by your original details of the site itself.

This will only work on apache servers with mod_rewrite enabled.

Wow! That's a good solid tutorial there! Reps for that.

That was a good tutorial. I have a small noob question is this the method that they use when they park a domain? I mean some times when I type one domain it automatically redirect me to some other site. How they are going to make money with it(redirecting the site)

That could be either a simple 301 or .htaccess redirect.

They normally redirect to pages with adverts and popups on it which will pay them per hit.
