Redirect site from www to non-www
It is better to make web site available with one URL. Many sites work with both wwww and non-www (naked domain) urls.
Using www or non-www is personal choice. One advantage of using wwww for URL is when you have lot of sub domains. If you use non-www url, cookies set by the domain will be available to sub domains. This will increase bandwidth usage as cookie need to be sent with every request browser make to web server.
Apache
If you are using Apache web server, you can redirect wwww to non-www url by adding following code in .htaccess file
|

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yourdomain.com$1 [L,R=301] |
Redirect non-www to www
|
1 2 3 |
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com$1 [L,R=301] |
Nginx
If you use Nginx, it is better create a server entry for www URL, then set a redirect
|
1 2 3 4 |
server { server_name www.yourdomain.com; return 301 $scheme://yourdomain.com$request_uri; } |
If you want to use same server entry for www and non-www, add following code to nginx server entry for the web site.
Redirect www domain to non-www
|
1 2 3 |
if ( $host != 'yourdomain.com' ) { return 301 https://yourdomain.com$request_uri; } |
If you use custom ports, use
|
1 2 3 |
if ( $host != 'yourdomain.com' ) { return 301 https://yourdomain.com:$server_port$request_uri; } |
Redirect Naked Domain to www
|
1 2 3 |
