Question

Currently we are using the following code in .htaccess to redirect users from mydomain.com to http://www.mydomain.com … simply because we need/want the www. to always be there.

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

We intend to add several add-on domain to hit this same site is there a way to customize the above code such that any domain would behave the same?

UPDATE

So I managed to achieve this by using

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

It’s still not perfect because I want to avoid this happening with subdomains of the site. So if for example someone hits with hello.mydomain.com … I don’t want it to add the www.

Any help pleaese?

Thanks

Oki found the solution in another question:

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