How do I force all "non-WWW" url requests to my "www" domain? · Blog
This is quite simple to do in Apache with your .htaccess file (if you don't have a .htaccess file in your web root, you can add one).
The following is what I use on my site to accomplish this:
Simply replace "site.tld" with your domain on the two lines that it's mentioned, insert into your .htaccess file, and upload to your server.
Due to the non-www stance some users use, I'm also going to describe how to send all www requests to the non-www domain... Be sure that you're not using both of these as you could cause a lot of looping on your webserver.
The instructions above are still valid, however, use this .htaccess block.

# Allow Re-Writing

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site.tld$
