Redirect www.domain to domain

How do I redirect www.entrepreneurhandbook.co.uk to entrepreneurhandbook.co.uk

The latter is an existing site.

Thanks

force non-www

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^entrepreneurhandbook.co.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.entrepreneurhandbook.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http://entrepreneurhandbook.co.uk/" [R=301,L]

Add the code listed above to your HTACESS file. This version will redirect both versions to the non-www version. The hashtag won't matter if you have that in there, that is for labeling your redirects. Makes navigating your HTACCESS file a lot easier.

Alternatively:

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

Windows Server/IIS:

• Start Internet Services Manager. or start the IIS Snap-in in Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

• Click to expand * server name, where server name is the name of the server.

• Right-click either the Web site or the folder that you want to redirect, and then click Properties.

• Click one of the following tabs that is appropriate to your situation:

• Home Directory

• Virtual Directory

• Directory

• Under When connecting to this resource, the content should come from, click A redirection to a URL.

• Type the URL of the destination folder or Web site in the Redirect to box.

For example, to redirect all requests for files located at www.mycompany.com to mycompany.com type http://mycompany.com

• Click OK.
