Print Page - change url

Title: change url
Post by: shaun1967 on November 27, 2006, 01:17:57 AM

HI,
i am wanting to change my url in the forum from

http://consumercorner.co.uk/forum
to
http://www.consumercorner.co.uk/forum

I have searched but its not an easy one to search for. i just need the www. in the url

the reason being is i have spent weeks getting inbound links out there but just realised they include the www and naturally on my site the url doesnt show it, so google is showing everything as different pages when they are the same so traffic is getting split between the 2. hope all that makes sense ;)

check with ur host about this

Usually there is a domain mnagement area where ur domain should allow you to specify how your page is accessible

there are normally 3 options

- with WWW
- without WW
- both

so ull have to ask them
