Hi,

Here's my situation... Currently I have "A" records for www and @ pointing to the same folder. What I need is for "@" to be redirected to www. My domain is coloradoskishop.com. So what I'm looking for is to make it so that when a user enters "coloradoskishop.com" into their browser they end up at "http://www.coloradoskishop.com" not "http://coloradoskishop.com". I cannot figure out how to do this in the domain management panel. There doesn't seem to be an option for URL redirection. My other domain manager (with another company) allows us to set URL redirects. Is it possible with Network solutions?

I'm sorry, at this time, we do not offer sub domain forwarding to accomplish what you are looking for. You can achieve the same effect by doing a 301 redirect at your host.

I didn't really, I just hacked it. The problem I was having was that in firefox www.XXX.com and XXX.com spawn two different sessions and it was causing some problems for us. So what I did was to check if the browser's url said www or not. If it didn't, I redirected to www.

I hope that this snippet helps you and others.

htaccess rewrite. somedomain.com is rewritten to https//www.somedomain.com

Hope this helps many of you.

Peace

CODE
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

I have an account that hosts my blog. However, whenever I enter in the domain name, it always resolves to http://nameofsite.com/blog instead of just http://nameofsite.com and the user would see the blog.

I am not too technical (obviously) so I am wondering if this issue is caused by NetSol not supporting sub domain forwarding? Is there any way to fix this issue using tools in the management panel?

On wordpress you could change the blog address by going to general then changing the blog address to your domain and then go back to your account manager in network solutions and point the subdomain to the wordpress directory.
