Hi
How do I disable redirects from removing “www.” in the url
I type www.domain.com - I get result domain.com
I wish to keep it as www.domain.com
Thank you
Walt
Edit: config.local.php
```php
// Host and directory where software is installed on no-secure server
$config[‘http_host’] = ‘site.com’;
$config[‘http_path’] = ‘’;
// Host and directory where software is installed on secure server
$config[‘https_host’] = ‘site.com’;
$config[‘https_path’] = ‘’;
```
add WWW there
```php
// Host and directory where software is installed on no-secure server
$config[‘http_host’] = ‘www.site.com’;
$config[‘http_path’] = ‘’;
// Host and directory where software is installed on secure server
$config[‘https_host’] = ‘www.site.com’;
$config[‘https_path’] = ‘’;
```
Thank you for the information
Thank you
You might also want to update your htaccess with:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} ^site\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Answer is there since 2008:
[quote name=‘Lee Li Pop’]Hello,
Try with this:
1 - Open & Edit your “.htaccess” in your root
2 - Add after the last line of your “.htaccess”:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.YourWebsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://YourWebsite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
OR REVERSE:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} YourWebsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.YourWebsite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
3 - Save
4 - Upload
5 - Try
Hoping to read from you,

PS : Of course! Change “YourWebsite.com” with your REAL website name ;)[/QUOTE]

And now, why it’s important in a SEO purpose:
[quote name=‘Lee Li Pop’]Hello Raj,
First of all, thank you to ask good question! 
Because…
[COLOR=“Green”]This trick is VERY important for a SEO purpose![/COLOR]
Yes, because, having only one access to your domain URL (with or without “www”), you DO NOT split your PR between “www” and “non www” 
United, we are stronger!

You can chose what you need for your domain name URL, [COLOR=“Red”]Without[/COLOR] (1) or [COLOR=“Green”]With[/COLOR] (2) WWW:
1 - [COLOR=“Red”]WITHOUT[/COLOR] “www”, add at the bottom end of your [COLOR=“#ff0000”].htaccess[/COLOR]:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.MyDomainName.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://MyDomainName.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
2 - [COLOR=“Green”]WITH[/COLOR] “www”, add at the bottom end of your [COLOR=“#ff0000”].htaccess[/COLOR]:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.MyDomainName\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.MyDomainName.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
Of course, change “MyDomainName.com” with your real own domain name!
*****
For personal reasons, I always chose without “www”.
Nota Bene:
This trick is not always technicaly available. Please, check with your hosting company.
