How to get yourshopname.com to www.yourshopname.com?

[Ankit Gupta]

I had created the website on my localhost, now I've gone live with it. The issue I'm facing is when I'm typing yourshopname.com it opens the website and when I type www.yourshopname.com it shows 

This webpage is not available 

I've tired changing htaccess file also but no hope, I've also tired changing url in from Back-end in SEO and URL's option. Still no Hope.

 

I'm running PrestaShop™ 1.6.0.13

Please Help.

Try adding the following to the top of your .htaccess file to redirect from yourshopname.com to www.yourshopname.com:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on    
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Or add the following instead to redirect from www.yourshopname.com to yourshopname.com:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

I tired that and it gives me this error http://www.mobelly.com/.errordocs/403.html

(my website name is mobelly.com)

 

and now it says 

This webpage is not available Edited March 13, 2015 by maverick95 (see edit history)

That should have worked. I don't understand why it isn't.

 

The only other suggestion I have is to set up a redirect in cPanel instead. I'm using Just Host and when I log in, I see a "Redirects" in the "Domain Management" section. It looks like there's options in there that might do what you want.

 

Alternatively, you could try to ask your host for help. They might know why it is happening.

Ok How can I configure it? I'm using godaddy

Sorry, I don't have experience with GoDaddy. I use Just Host. I suggest consulting GoDaddy's documentation or asking them to help.

Done! Go daddy's domain had some DNS changes which did it   Thank you for your help!
