Trash Talk - Removing the www. from your domain... palkema - Fri Dec 07, 2007 10:22 am Post subject: Removing the www. from your domain...
Hey guys... if i go to a website say,
I click the URL and remove the "http://www." off the beginning of the url and hit submit server will fix my problem without moving me to any other page.
I am having an issue doing this with my server. It seems that most servers have this functionality already but mine doesn't. Could somone please explain this to me?

This isn't the right place to ask, so this top will probably get moved as it deal with SubSpace Servers. However as to your problem, its a DNS setting, i recommend you ask your domain name service providor to set it up for you.

Works for me without messing with DNS settings. You should just fix your virtual host configs.

palkema, check your DNS settings.
There should be two A records to work with and without "www":
And, as Solo Ace said, also check your virtual host/Apache configuration.

I've seen some sites create a redirect to the www. if you hit it without.

Sometimes I've seen sites hosted on sscentral.com add the www if you try to go to a page that doesn't exist, probably something messed up in the configs.

and u can use mod_rewrite to remove www completely.

mod_rewrite and a redirect is overkill for such a thing. If they're going to point to the same place anyway, just setup the no-subdomain version as your primary in the vhost entry, then add a server alias for the www.
