Redirecting www to non and non to www
Posted The: 05/01/2009 At: 3:31
You can redirect the non-www version to the www version of your site, as well as www to non-www.
Why to Redirect
Both the URLs http://brugbart.com/ and http://www.brugbart.com/ are two unique URLs for the same content, having both of them working could risk counting as duplicate content in search engines.
Examles
Below are two examples, which one to use is up to you. There is no obvious choice, but the www version tend to be used most the time.
Redirecting WWW to non-WWW
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^brugbart\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://brugbart.com/$1 [R=301,L]Redirecting non WWW to WWW
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.brugbart\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.brugbart.com/$1 [R=301,L]Note. If you haven't done so already, be sure to include RewriteEngine on, that would become something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.brugbart\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.brugbart.com/$1 [R=301,L]You would only need to enable the Rewrite Engine once.
