Hello,

I have a personal website, and you can reach it by going to
racesco.com or www.racesco.com.  I would like to have ALL visitors
land on www.racesco.com for some optimization purposes.  How do I
configure my site to kick those who enter racesco.com over to
www.racesco.com?  Thank you!

I understand you can do the following, but I cannot get it to work on my site.

You can use Mod_Rewrite to force people to use the WWW version by
adding this code to your .htaccess file:

Code / Sample:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.seochat\.com
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.seochat.com%{REQUEST_URI}
[R=301,L]

Any thoughts??

It's not something you can configure on the server side. Speak to your
host and have them update their name servers with an additional entry
for racesco.com to point to the ip of the machine serving that domain.

My apologies, it can be done on the server side. However depending on
what software you're running to host the site (apache, iis, etc..) the
process will be different. The answer above applies regardless of what
you're using.

I'm not really with it today!... the command rewriteengine obviously
applies to apache, so we know what you're using. I believe the
'redirect' command is what you should be using instead of that -
probably why you've had no luck with it. Just add 'Redirect permanent
/index.html www.racesco.com/index.html' in the httpd.conf file for
racesco.com
