This is a bluehost question posted by Rodrigo on 26 June 2007

I want to set www version as my prefered domain (redirecting non-www version to www version). I’ve found 2 ways to do this with .htaccess.

First way:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Second way:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)\.yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Which one is correct?
