How to add www to domain name?

Hi,

I just wondering how to add www before my domain name? I found in google that needs to add in .htaccess file this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yoursite.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But for me doesn't work, error message: "Too many redirects occurred trying to open http://www.findwebsite.net. Any ideas how to change? Or may I put this code in wrong line?

My domain: findwebsite.net
#add #domain #www

    If you are using wordpress, it adds the redirection to the .htaccess file. Simply choose the correct domain name in the admin panel and it takes care of everything else. Adding code to the .htaccess file might mess things up instead of fix it.

    Sounds like you have conflicting (multiple) redirects going on.

    If you're trying to force www when people visit your site without the www, I think the code should be like this:

    #Force www:
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

    Replace example.com with your domain. I think the problem with your code is you included
    www in the RewriteCond line, this line should not include the www.

        The following syntax works for me:

        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
        </IfModule>

        Make sure there are no other rewrite conditions/rules in the .htaccess file that may conflict with your redirect.

      Thanks, but I sorted this problem. I just deleted my addon domain and created new with www. Now is ok.
