Anyone got a easy solution to redirect visets from http://yoursite.com to http://www.yoursite.com ? To avoid double index from search engines?

Good point, Silent Hill. I didn't know this.

Here is your well deserved code:



Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to www.domain.com 
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed) 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc] 

Please REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name. 

Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.

If the above doesn't work on some servers (you get an error page) then just remove the line with Options +FollowSymlinks from the .htaccess file.
