How to redirect non-www to www in htaccess file

To redirect non-www to www using your .htaccess file, add the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Combined with HTTP to HTTPS redirect

If you also want to force HTTPS and redirect non-www to www, here’s a combined version:

</p>
RewriteEngine On

# Force HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# Redirect non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
<p data-start="259" data-end="348">

OR (More optimized version with both conditions combined)

Replace example.com with your actual domain name:

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect to https://www.example.com
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Notes:

• The [NC] flag makes the rule case-insensitive.

• Always replace example.com with your real domain.

• Make sure your SSL certificate supports both www and non-www domains.

Let me know if you want to do the reverse (www to non-www) or need help with something specific!
