How to force your visitors to goto your website domain without www as a prefix with mod_rewrite in Apache

Actually this is quite simple, you need to create a .htaccess file into your public_html / httpdocs directory and add the following piece of code:

Force non-www

# Force non-www
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^kitara.nl
RewriteRule (.*) http://kitara.nl/$1 [R=301,L]

Force www

# Force www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.kitara.nl
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.kitara.nl/$1 [R=301,L]

Of course you need to modify this to match your own domain name
