Topic: Removing www

Just a thought...

Would it be to much to have an option so that you can have only one of the below?
www.example.com
or
example.com

Re: Removing www

If someone goes to www.example.com and you have chosen example.com then it auto redirects and vice versa. smile

Re: Removing www

The httpd daemon should be responsible for redirects like that, not the software.

Re: Removing www

MattF is right, you can use a 301 Redirect
Here's a good tutorial on how to do this:

Re: Removing www

It was only a suggestion.

I was guessing most might have access to the .htaccess file and not the backend. In fact majority of places I haved rented space before in the past did not give you certain access sad

Im not bothered either way, as I have my own fix. tongue
