    this is a settings issue with your hosting control panel. I use
    Hostgator and by default it doesn't matter if you type in
    http:// or http://www - it goes to the same site. Your
    hosting account may not have this feature activated, so
    I recommend you log a support ticket with your host to
    get it resolved.

    Thank you, i just found that you can redirect your website ( i use hostica.com ), but it automatically shows me to redirect from http://www.mysite.com , and i can only chose where to redirect. So basically, all i probably can do it to redirect www.mysite.com to mysite.com. Should i do that?

    You can do that. I don't know if it is necessary.

    I'm not quite sure if you're redirecting from a domain "URL A" to
    a domain "URL B" - but if you are it generally doesn't matter
    if you use the "www." prefix or not in the redirect.

    It should never matter for your users if they type in www. or not.
    If your website is doing different things for "www." and without
    it you've got something weird going on with you hosting.

    I NEVER type in www. when entering a domain - I only use the
    prefix as a visual indicator in a link or printed media to indicate
    "this is a website address" - since it's more recognizable that
    "http://" and easier to type and remember.
