Redirect from the www version of site to the non-www version
This article describes how to make a redirect from the www version of your site to non-www version. So, when someone types in http://www.mydomain.com – it will automatically resolve to http://www.domain-name.com.
For example, a popular site StackOverflow works as follows: when you type with www as http://www.stackoverflow.com/ – it automatically redirects you to non-www URL: http://stackoverflow.com/.
Search engines don’t automatically assume that both the ‘www’ and ‘non-www’ version of a domain are one and the same. This is why it’s important to tell the search engines which domain you prefer through using the .htaccess file.
