Question

What’s the best way to redirect from web root (e.g., example.com) and the www subdomain (e.g., http://www.example.com) to a specified subdomain? I’ve not got great access to the server I’m working on, so editing .htaccess or similar would probably be the most practical solution.

Answer 1

In .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

That’ll do a 301 redirect and will include anything after the initial /, so example.com/page.html will go to subdomain.example.com/page.html
