Adding the 'www' to domains...help

by Emoney
4 replies
I have some domains but they show up as just the domain without
the www in front of it. How can I modify it so that it shows the www
in front?

I have hostgator for hosting and godaddy for domains.

Also, it also doesn't show the www in the search engines, just the

mysitehere.com

It's annoying, how can I add the www?

Thanks

    lol.

    yes you can change that, (well more like: you ask google to change it.)

    head on over to (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools) and sign up.

    add your site and verify it.

    after you've done all this, go to tools > set preferred domain.

    and then you wait for google to do it's job on the next crawl.

      You can add this code to your .htaccess file.


      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteCond %{http_host} ^domain.com [NC]
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

      With your proper domain name of course.
