Webhosting Redirecting

If you would like your web site visitors to view your website without the 'www' part, then this is how to do it:

Overview

1. Create a DNS 'A' Record
2. Create an index.http file to redirect visitors to your main page.

Explanation

Lets assume that your domain is testing.me.uk.

Reason behind this: You will already have a CNAME DNS entry for 'www.testing.me.uk' set to 'www-server.co.uk'. However, by default we do not create a record for just 'testing.me.uk' so one will need to be created.

DNS Entry:

The DNS entry will need to be an 'A Record', set to 81.187.30.81, ie:

index.http file

An index.http file is a special file that our webserver will interpret specially. The file should be like this:

HTTP/1.0 301 Page moved 
Location: http://www.testing.me.uk/ 
Content-Length: 0

with a blank line at the end (the blank line is important).
