your server is supposed to manage www. calls, so it redirect to your site in the /public_html/ path. if you have no /www/ ALIAS directory below your /public_html/, ou can ask your webmaster to make one... (it's simply a alias of the /public_html/ path!)

.htaccess files are not handling the situation very well, just replacing the www. but that cause a sub-domain to be used and your site may have cookies problems if it is done.

Ahha, so google searched for the non-www version first? So maybe they prefer the non-www version?

Anyway, what exactly should i ask my host to do to make the changes so I do not have to use the htaccess to make it non-www or www version?

Would they understand what im talking about if I ask them "the alias should be setup via apache, and then symlink the www dir to the public_html directory"? Lol, because i have no idea what that means. Also, how to I ask to make it non-www or www in the alias?

Thank You
