How do you remove www from your domain? Using Wordpress and/or Webmin?

March 21, 2010 123 hosting 4 Comments

Is there a dummies guide to removing the www. from the domain? I can’t seem to get it to work for either a new install, or on my existing http://www.eyeonthetigers.co.uk (http://eyeonthetigers.co.uk). In this instance I’m using wordpress – I’d rather all my Wordpress installs were on the domain without the www.

My admin interface is Webmin if that helps, and domain hosted at 123-reg.

Any help appreciated – Google isn’t a lot of help when you search for "no www" :o )

you could just create a htaccess file;)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    It’s not wordpress that removes it. It’s your host that has to have a redirect from the www version to the one without the www.

    Wordpress is just a script for content management.

    Presuming your domain is eyeonthetigers.co.uk, go into your DNS settings for the domain on 123-reg, and you should find things called "A records". There should be one called "www" with the IP address of 88.198.25.116. If there is, try to add another A record (providing there isn’t one already) called * (asterisk). Give that the IP address of 88.198.25.116. This should work.

    first register a user with google and use google webmaster tools insert a validation code on it and tell google which URL you prefer.

    second you should not care much about that www or none www. thing once you use google webmaster tools.
