    Like Fara above says. But if it is a Wordpress blog/site then change the URL field under settings -> General so that you include www in the URL.

    I'm not able to find the .htaccess file. I've checked the "public_html" directory but it isn't there. I made a new one and tried to upload it in the same directory but it says there already exists a file with the same name.

    Hmmm, best consult your hosting service as to where your .htacess file is located or why you cannot find it.
